Chapter 590: Scavenging

The Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd swung down, and the Dominator Bug frantically twitched its own tentacles, wanting to condense a layer of Energy Barrier to block this attack.

Before it could react, the tentacles on its head were burned into curled charcoal by the electric arcs leaping on the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd.

"Purge the Alien!"

Valantis gripped the halberd with both hands and slashed down, and chains of electric light exploded across the Dominator Bug's body.

The Dominator Bug's body was sliced open and burst with fluids in succession, and the Psionic Lightning turned the Dominator Bug's body into charcoal.

"The Emperor's Light purifies all filth!"

When Valantis pulled out the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd, the Dominator Bug's corpse had already become a charred, hard lump amidst the Psionic Lightning.

"How is it? Valantis, you look like you've consumed quite a bit of psionic energy."

After Saifulesi finished off the suddenly appearing Black-Winged Bug, he walked in front of Valantis and said.

"It's fine. All units, pay attention, eliminate the Alien..."

Before Valantis could finish speaking, he felt the Yixing Fuhua Chao beneath his feet beginning to decompose and collapse.

He thought it might be because the death of the Alien leader had caused the Yixing Fuhua Chao to begin collapsing.

"Evacuate the Yixing Fuhua Chao first! It's going to collapse here!"

Outside the Hatchery.

Yingzhou saw one Hatchery after another begin to collapse in a disintegrating manner, and the Zerg on the battlefield also fell into chaos; victory was only a matter of time.

"I wonder how much material I can gather this time? At the very least, there should be enough material for two people, right?"

With the collapse of the Hatchery and the death of the Dominator Bug, the scales of victory in this war tilted completely toward the Human side.

The battle ended very quickly, and after the soldiers enjoyed the brief joy of victory, they began to clean up the battlefield.

"Lao Zhang! How is your body? Can you still hold on?"

A young soldier with a face covered in black ash kicked away the shattered carapace of a Zerg, with half a piece of viscous Zerg organ still hanging on his armor, and said while dragging the corpse of a Swift Bug.

The Human Alliance soldier called Lao Zhang dragged the half-corpse of a Giant Pincer Bug onto a pile of corpses that had already formed a small hill, and replied.

"How could I not? I was just knocked over by the energy fluctuations, not killed by the Zerg."

At a temporary medical point twenty meters away, a Cadian soldier leaned against an armored vehicle and gnawed on an energy bar.

"Leave two rolls of tourniquets for me in the medical kit!"

A medic shouted to a comrade who was rummaging through Zerg wreckage in the distance.

Several soldiers holding flamethrowers stood beside the mountains of Zerg corpses.

Every time Yingzhou passed a mountain of corpses, he would ask the system if there were any recyclable materials.

But to Yingzhou's disappointment, the system's answer was always the same.

【No recyclable materials detected.】

After Yingzhou received this reply again, he waved his hand at the soldiers holding the flamethrowers.

The soldiers who received the order aimed their flamethrowers at these remains, and scorching flames sprayed out, igniting a cloud of thick smoke.

"System, why are there still no recyclable materials?"

Yingzhou complained to the system in his heart while walking toward the next mountain of corpses.

"Host, those are all the lowest-level units of the Zerg; there is simply no recyclable material on them."

Just as Yingzhou walked in front of another mountain of Zerg corpses, the answer given by the system this time was finally no longer the same as before.

【Recyclable materials detected, please recycle, Host.】

Yingzhou looked at this mountain of corpses in confusion, wanting to see what was different about it compared to the other mountains of corpses.

At the very bottom, he found a Crystal Death Servant with its head blown off; the purple energy crystal block on its body had already been removed, and there seemed to be a Black-Winged Bug with only half a body next to it.

"System, is it these?"

The system did not answer Yingzhou's question, but repeated the previous sentence again.

【Recyclable materials detected, please recycle, Host.】

Seeing that the system was ignoring him, Yingzhou could only start following the recycling process.

After recycling the materials, the corpses of the Black-Winged Bug and the Crystal Death Servant had indeed disappeared.

"So it really is only these Zerg that have recyclable materials?"

When Yingzhou checked how much material he had recycled, he found that the materials he had recycled were pitifully small.

"Damn, this is too much of a rip-off, right?"

However, Yingzhou already had a certain range in his mind regarding recyclable materials.

In the subsequent process of recycling materials, Yingzhou gradually narrowed the scope of recyclable materials, so that those in the corpse mountains without Crystal Death Servants or Black-Winged Bug corpses could be burned directly without waiting for him to go over.

Even so, it took Yingzhou quite a bit of time to recycle all the recyclable materials on the battlefield.

"Phew, adding the materials I've recycled during this time, I can basically summon a Primarch first. Hmm... aren't there still Hatcheries? Maybe there are high-purity recyclable materials in the Hatcheries."

Yingzhou found 5 Grey Knights who had been teleported out from the Zerg Incubation Nest and said to Valantis, who had just stood up from a rock.

"Valantis, where is the Alien leader's Hatchery you found? Are there any special Aliens inside?"

Valantis planted the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd on the ground, knelt on one knee, and said to Yingzhou.

"Emperor, we found corrupted Heretics inside and have already eliminated them all."

"Heretics?"

Once Yingzhou heard this, he instantly understood what the Heretics Valantis spoke of were.

That would be humanoid Zerg, Humans whose bodies had been occupied by the Zerg.

It seems that the materials provided by humanoid Zerg are more than those provided by Black-Winged Bugs and Crystal Death Servants.

"Take me to that Hatchery to have a look."

"As you command, Emperor."

The five people from Valantis led the way for Yingzhou, and when they arrived near the wreckage of the Hatchery where the Dominator Bug had died, Yingzhou heard the system's notification sound.

【Recyclable materials detected, please recycle, Host.】

Hearing this prompt, Yingzhou did not hesitate in the slightest and immediately began to recycle the materials that could be salvaged from this Hatchery.

This recycling process took longer than the previous ones, which was good news for Yingzhou.

This meant that the amount of material he was recycling was not small; after about half an hour, upon hearing the system's notification that the material decomposition was complete, Yingzhou couldn't wait to check his material storage status.

He discovered that this single Hatchery had actually provided him with enough materials to summon one Primarch; now, if he scavenged from other Hatcheries, he would be able to gather the materials needed for three Primarchs!

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Yingzhou's mouth.
