Chapter 3358: Unreasonable!

Anything related to the Demon Zerg would be warned. It was understandable. Su Xiao had previously been in the survival trial of the Void Tree world, which was located on the Primitive Continent, and had wreaked too much havoc there using the Zerg.

The trial area on the Primitive Continent was breached, the Tiger Bee tribe outside the trial area was wiped out, and the primitive tribes were also razed to the ground by the Zerg. Up to now, the Zerg Nest was still on the Primitive Continent, and Jila was eating and drinking there.

If this wasn't an invasion of Ser Star, and it was currently undergoing a World Conquest Battle, Su Xiao would have an 80% or higher certainty of summoning the Zerg and only receiving a warning without receiving actual punishment. As an invader, forget it.

Su Xiao flipped through the series of prompts below, all of which were prompts from Apocalypse Paradise, but these prompts were garbled, obviously shielded by Reincarnation Paradise.

The content of these prompts should be warnings. Now Su Xiao was disguised as a contractor of Apocalypse Paradise. After he was warned by the Void Tree, the notarization credibility of Apocalypse Paradise in this World Conquest Battle was -5. What this was, Su Xiao didn't know. Presumably, it shouldn't be anything good.

This made Su Xiao think that he had been reported to "Big Red Name" on the Apocalypse Paradise side. When contractors of Apocalypse Paradise checked his data, his name font was already red to purple. This was both because he was reported and because he had killed too many contractors of Apocalypse Paradise.

Su Xiao could be sure that he was on the dangerous unit list of Apocalypse Paradise. If this disguise ended, would he be directly on the blacklist of Apocalypse Paradise?

【Doomsday Fortress has evolved to T3-tier fortress.】

【Active ore conversion amount has increased from 60 units per natural day to 100 units per natural day.】

【Doomsday Fortress outer armor defense increased by 18 points, building health increased by 35%.】

【Due to the fortress tier improvement, you can choose one of the following three characteristics for the fortress.】

1. Fortress movement speed increased by 45%.

2. Fortress volume increased by 1.3 times.

3. Evolution Nest work efficiency increased by 30% (originally 5 hours to complete a batch of evolution body transformation, after choosing this reward, it will be reduced to 3.5 hours/batch).

Su Xiao chose reward 3 without any hesitation. The newly appeared "Evolution Nest" was the thing he wanted to seek.

He had just made the choice when black-red flesh spread on all the walls on the right, starting to construct a huge building-type organ.

Thick meridians grew within the black-red flesh, a claw made of flesh probed out, followed by a head resembling an alien, and this flesh monster roared at the sky. At this moment, a sense of rejection from the world appeared.

This monster made of flesh was called a Demon Beast, but it didn't come to this world; it was just that when the "Evolution Nest" was growing, because it contained the Demon Beast gene fragment · instinct, this scene appeared.

Looking at all this, Su Xiao knew that he had been smooth once. After choosing to develop Pig-Headed Men, there were many setbacks. For example, Wild Boar Men didn't have direct help for early development, couldn't support war with war, and were very difficult to develop quickly. Now, his luck had finally turned.

The construction speed of the "Evolution Nest" was very fast, forming in two hours. This was a characteristic of Zerg buildings. If it were in the Zerg Nest, the speed would be several times faster.

【Prompt: Doomsday Fortress has evolved a new organ · Evolution Nest.】

【Evolution Nest: Can accommodate 500 soldier units/summons/alienated beasts of this world at a time, forcing them to evolve once. During this process, it will consume the active energy stored by the fortress (the amount of active energy consumed will depend on the number of units and individual strength evolved this time).】

【Prompt: Entering the Evolution Nest to evolve, once failed, there is a high probability of death. Even if successful, the original life force will be consumed by 42%~50% due to this evolution (i. e., survival time reduced by 42%~50%).】

【Prompt: Because the Evolution Nest was changed from a Zerg Nest organ, all units entering the Evolution Nest will become more aggressive after inheriting the Zerg "instinct" ability, and will regard this fortress as a "homeland that must be protected." This is evolved from the Zerg's protectiveness toward the Zerg Nest.】

【Prompt: Evolved units possess a certain degree of teamwork, requiring mental synchronization to activate this ability (without a Zerg Queen, Doomsday Fortress cannot serve this function, this ability is invalid).】

【Prompt: At the current stage, the Evolution Nest requires 3.5 hours for each work, and can complete the evolution of a batch of soldier-type units/summons/alienated beasts of this world (originally 5 hours/time, time has been reduced by 30% through fortress advancement reward).】

【Prompt: The Evolution Nest will improve as the fortress tier improves and can unlock different evolution routes.】

【Existing evolvable route: Instinct Endowment (Passive).】

Seeing these prompts, Su Xiao knew that the resources he paid weren't in vain. In order to rescue this fortress, he had taken out quite a few good things just now.

How effective the "Evolution Nest" was remained unknown. It could accommodate 500 Pig-Headed Men each time, evolving a batch in 3.5 hours.

For other creatures, when evolving from Zerg gene gains, the death rate must be extremely high.

Pig-Headed Men were different. They had sacrificed their qualifications to become strong people, in exchange for strong tolerance and adaptability. Mining for 22 hours a day and eating the most inferior food, Pig-Headed Men could persist for several years. If mining for 20 hours a day, they could support more than ten years.

Su Xiao didn't need every Pig-Headed Man to become a strong person. Their tolerance and adaptability would definitely be able to significantly reduce the ultra-high death rate brought by the "Evolution Nest."

Once evolution was successful, it was not only an improvement in strength but would also make Pig-Headed Men have stronger aggressiveness. This was the influence of Demon Beast genes on the inner heart of Pig-Headed Men. It could be said that for Pig-Headed Men who had been squeezed to the point of being submissive and living in survival, this was the greatest enhancement.

Demon Beasts had never been cowardly, nor did they know what that was. After being influenced by their genes, although Pig-Headed Men couldn't reach that level, they would also have their animal nature completely awakened.

There were many benefits, and the price was also high. Pig-Headed Men had to consume active energy, which was active ore, when transforming in the "Evolution Nest." Secondly, there was a reduction in lifespan, between 42% and 50%.

For some young Pig-Headed Men, this was not only not reducing lifespan but instead living longer. Normally, they could only live for 12 to 16 years after leaving the Kindred's Life Factory, and eventually, they would be exhausted to death.

If things took their natural course, the average lifespan of Pig-Headed Men was similar to that of humans, not much worse than Kindred. Even if reduced by 50%, there were still several decades to live.

In Su Xiao's view, this aspect was of little significance. Pig-Headed Men were going to the battlefield. Since they were going to the battlefield, why worry about lifespan? On the battlefield, just a moment of negligence, and they would die on the spot.

The unique smell of the Zerg Nest drifted from the front. It was a smell of soil after rain + lemon smell + a smell that was very difficult to describe. In short, it wasn't unpleasant.

Su Xiao looked around. More than 90% of the area on the second floor was occupied by the "Evolution Nest." The feeding port for active ore roughs was simply squeezed to the first floor.

Su Xiao contacted Caesar, asking the other party to help advance the cost of 500 Pig-Headed Men, which was 15 units of active ore, and get 500 male Pig-Headed Men as quickly as possible.

He didn't let Su Xiao wait too long in the fortress. Caesar teleported 500 Pig-Headed Men to the Border Area through secret channels, and then they were taken over by the Wild Boar Men guarding Warehouse No. 2 and sent to the first floor of the base camp fortress.

After the Wild Boar Men under his command were busy for a while, everything was ready. Su Xiao looked at these 500 Pig-Headed Men in front of him. They all lowered their heads, and some younger ones would occasionally peek, but immediately lowered their heads again.

Su Xiao gave an order, and the Wild Boar Men around them crowded the 500 Pig-Headed Men to the second floor, letting them walk toward the cave-like entrances of the "Evolution Nest."

After all 500 Pig-Headed Men entered, the dozen entrance passages of the "Evolution Nest" were all closed, and the entire "Evolution Nest" began to shrink.

【Prompt: It is estimated that this soldier-type unit evolution will consume a total of 500 points of active energy.】

【Existing evolvable route: Instinct Endowment.】

【Estimated time required: 3.5 hours.】

500 catties of active ore was within the acceptable range. Su Xiao was very much looking forward to the evolution results of these 500 Pig-Headed Men. He had both paid resources and taken risks to create this Evolution Nest.

In Su Xiao's waiting, the looting team led by Morey returned. Hausman didn't suffer any injuries, Steel Teeth had minor injuries, and of the remaining 300 Wild Boar warriors, 252 returned. Before going, Su Xiao had given an order: if the situation was wrong, retreat immediately.

"Where is Morey?"

Su Xiao looked at the contract. The contract hadn't disappeared, indicating that Morey wasn't dead yet.

"She went down to mine."

Baha spoke. Previously, it and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had been following Morey, watching the battle from afar the whole time, and were responsible for throwing Apollo to destroy the bodies.

"..."

Su Xiao didn't need to ask to know that the first time the looting team led by Morey made a move, they encountered a fortress with heavy-artillery-grade weapons. Daring to mine near the Border Area, none of them were good people, and this time Su Xiao was just trying to explore the path.

The most important thing right now was to see the effect of the "Evolution Nest." Su Xiao estimated that even if it was the worst, the "Evolution Nest" could transform Pig-Headed Men into Wild Boar Men. What the death rate was, and whether there were other improvements, were all unknown now.

Su Xiao walked toward the top floor. Before he had walked a few steps, Morey ran to the second floor quickly and said urgently:

"I'm going out for a trip first. Moon Apostle was attacked on the way here and is currently being hunted down."

Morey's expression was anxious, and her speech was fast. After saying this, she disappeared in a few flashes.

"I'm damned, someone attacked the Mining Girl."

Baha immediately thought that the 20,000 Soul Coins on Moon Apostle's side hadn't arrived yet, and because one person was missing, the contract hadn't been reached, and Morey's 20,000 Soul Coins were also pending payment, waiting for Moon Apostle to sign that contract before the 40,000 Soul Coins could arrive.

As a technique-type, Su Xiao already felt that he was a bit poor recently.

Su Xiao took Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baja and strode out of the fortress. Whether Moon Apostle lived or died in the past had nothing to do with him, but now, that wasn't just Moon Apostle—that was 40,000 walking Soul Coins, a mobile ATM.

The current Moon Apostle was equal to many summons that could mine, as well as 40,000 Soul Coins that could walk. If she died, it would be a huge loss.
