61: Combat simulation: The Zerg's behind-the-scenes commander, the Cerebrate! The terrifying Zerg talent!

The Zerg side, the Plasma Bug Legion is gathering energy and is about to unleash a plasma attack!

"Zombie Earth Dragons, go to the front!"

Su Bai, a thousand li away, commanded from a distance, his voice reaching the Bio-chemical Legion.

Suddenly,

the ground surged, and seven Zombie Earth Dragons with cracked skin and blood flowing all over them burrowed underground!

These were the only seven remaining Zombie Earth Dragons,

the rest had all perished with the subterranean bugs.

Su Bai seized the opportunity before new subterranean bugs could be born on the Zerg side, launching a surprise attack, covering a thousand li in an instant, and the Zombie Earth Dragons burst out in the center of the Plasma Bug Legion,

immediately disrupting their formation!

However, the Zerg side also seemed to have a hidden commander, reacting quickly, as the plump Tank Bugs advanced, forming a ten-meter-high wall of flesh!

Su Bai was about to attack,

the next moment,

information scrolled across the simulator, revealing the enemy's strategy.

"Inside the Zerg Hive, the Brain Bug is deploying troops, using the Tank Bug Legion as a visible target, but secretly moving troops, as the Pulse War Scorpions are gathering pulse waves, and are about to launch a large-scale pulse sweep!"

"Pulse Sweep: A single Pulse War Scorpion emits a weaker attack, but when their numbers accumulate to one hundred, they can unleash immense power, affecting even Gold-tier Creatures!"

Su Bai's pupils contracted,

and he immediately changed his command, "Queen of Blades! Use Hive Mind to contend for control with the Zerg Hive!"

Although the Queen of Blades was not a Zerg,

her innate skill, Hive Mind, bore some resemblance to the Zerg consciousness. Su Bai didn't expect her to succeed in gaining control,

he only hoped to buy a few seconds of time!

The Queen of Blades acted according to Su Bai's instructions.

Seizing this opportunity,

Su Bai looked at 'Pick', the owner of the Armored Titan,

"Pick, use your fastest speed, carry all members of the Survey Corps, and make sure to arrive within a few seconds!"

As his voice fell,

Pick didn't hesitate for a moment, his entire body crystallized, transforming into a Colossal Titan!

Without further ado, he began to run at full speed!

Whoosh whoosh—

Hundreds of steel cables shot into the air, and the Survey Corps landed on the crystal fortress. At the same time, among them stood Commander Erwin!

One second,

two seconds,

three seconds! Time's up!

The Queen of Blades coughed up blood, her aura weak and dispirited. The Pulse War Scorpions broke free from the entanglement of the Hive Mind, their pulse waves fully gathered, ready to fire the next second!

It was at this moment,

Commander Erwin leaped out of the fortress, bit his hand fiercely in mid-air, and golden lightning descended from the sky, striking down with a roar!

Hot steam boiled,

he transformed into a Colossal Titan, completing his transformation in the center of the Pulse War Scorpion Legion, unleashing power comparable to a nuclear explosion.

In an instant,

the number of Pulse War Scorpions was more than halved!

After this,

several successive whooshing sounds, and the Survey Corps attacked. Levi, wielding dual blades, plunged into the swarm, like a hurricane, countless severed limbs flew, like a god of slaughter from hell!

In just a few seconds,

he annihilated all remaining Pulse War Scorpions!

With the death of the Pulse War Scorpions, on the other side, the wall of flesh formed by the Tank Bugs, and the many remaining Zerg, seemed to receive some command,

and began an urgent retreat.

The Zerg, spread across the mountains and plains, retreated like a tide,

and the Zerg's strict defensive perimeter was thus torn open by Su Bai!

Subsequently,

Alice seized the opportunity, waving her battle flag, and under her leadership, the Holy Terra Sect rushed out first,

closely followed by

the Bio-chemical Legion led by the Two-Winged Seraph!

The Survey Corps and the Rumbling Army also charged into the Zerg Hive with an unstoppable momentum,

Crash!

The Zerg Hive, tens of thousands of meters high, was violently smashed open, and the Origin Realm Army swarmed in, charging forward relentlessly!

Su Bai lost his advantage of vision,

and immersed himself entirely in the simulator, watching lines of information scroll out, constantly checking for omissions and making tactical adjustments!

"The Origin Realm Army has charged into the Zerg Hive! Launching the final decisive battle!"

"The Zerg Hive, externally appearing as a pitch-black sphere, once inside, is like a labyrinth with passages extending in all directions. And before the Origin Realm Army, there are three different passages!

"Under duress, the army dispersed, forming three different forces!"

"To the left, the Bio-chemical Legion led by the Two-Winged Seraph advanced, and the injured Queen of Blades also joined this team!"

"To the right, Eren, transformed into the Founding Titan, led thousands of Rumbling Titans, thundering forward!"

"Only the central, dark and deep entrance remained. Alice and Levi cooperated, and the believers of the Holy Terra Sect and the Survey Corps united, jointly rushing into this entrance!"

"The army has dispersed?"

Su Bai pondered, then decided to first observe the situation at the left entrance.

But not long after,

the outcome for the left passage was already refreshed by the simulator:

"The left side is a dead end! Tens of thousands of Exploding Bugs were hidden within, and in this premeditated explosion, including the Two-Winged Seraph, the entire Bio-chemical Legion was annihilated!"

Su Bai: ???

Before he could react,

a series of bad news followed!

"At the right entrance, the Rumbling Army was ambushed by a large swarm of Zerg, numbering in the tens of thousands! Under the successive bombardments of Plasma Bugs, Pulse War Scorpions, Exploding Bugs... only Eren, relying on the Founding Titan's powerful defense, barely managed to escape!"

"At the middle entrance, Alice, in order to cover the army's retreat, overused her psychic powers, leading to her death!"

"The Survey Corps, from 400 people, was reduced to 121 people!"

"The rest, including Commander Erwin, were all annihilated!"

"This battle simulation has ended!"

The cold voice of the simulator sounded in his ears,

at the same time,

the time on his phone clearly showed that three minutes and thirty seconds had passed.

Su Bai's expression turned cold,

three minutes and thirty seconds,

even though Su Bai had been very fast, he was still delayed for a certain amount of time.

And the Zerg Hive,

in such a short time, had recovered its vitality, and even turned around, deliberately showing weakness, creating false intelligence to make Su Bai misjudge the Zerg Hive's strength,

making him mistakenly believe that the enemy had only recovered a population of 30,000,

when in reality,

there were at least 50,000 or more Zerg! Even if another 30,000 died later, the remaining forces would be entirely capable of overwhelming Su Bai!

Reproduction, evolution, troop command... these three abilities combined gave birth to the Zerg, an almost unsolvable race!

Suddenly,

a cold smile bloomed on Su Bai's face, "Good, good, you want to play dirty with me, huh?"

"Then don't blame me for cheating!"

With a cold gaze, Su Bai elevated his mind to a high-speed operational state, and at the same time, an inexplicable force began to influence the battlefield.

As if time was flowing backward,

Su Bai initiated another simulation rollback!

Playing dirty with me?

Today, I'll show you what a true cheat is!

..."The thirteenth battle simulation, the Origin Realm successfully entered the Zerg Hive and penetrated several thousand meters, only to be ambushed by a large number of Zerg again, and all were annihilated!"

..."The twenty-first battle simulation, relying on the experience of previous deaths, the Origin Realm Army avoided damage, penetrated several thousand meters further, and then perished under the accumulation of a large number of Zerg!"

..."The forty-seventh battle simulation, the Origin Realm Army penetrated several thousand meters further!"

..."The seventy-second battle simulation, the Origin Realm Army had already advanced tens of thousands of meters, yet still hadn't reached the end of the Zerg Hive!"

..."The eighty-third battle simulation, this time, after paying the price of seven Silver Rank combatants, including the Two-Winged Seraph, they successfully penetrated to the core and found a peculiar room, where a bloated, ugly fat bug was crawling!"

"This is the Brain Bug, the hidden commander of the Zerg Hive!"

The moment this information appeared,

Su Bai's eyes lit up, and he immediately realized that he had finally found the core of the Zerg Hive!

The Brain Bug!

This was the only Zerg entity, besides the Zerg Matriarch, capable of commanding the Zerg swarm!

Rare in number and possessing high intelligence, indistinguishable from humans,

in past wars with the Zerg,

it was precisely because of the Brain Bug's existence that the human side suffered consistently high casualties!

But because of this,

it also possessed a special characteristic.

If consumed by a life form that is also Zerg, there is a certain probability of inheriting its innate skill to control the Zerg!

This is what Su Bai wanted.

"Although the Queen of Blades is not Zerg, the Xenomorph's appearance is similar to the Zerg. If she devours the Brain Bug, she might also have a chance to control the Zerg."

"At the very least, controlling a small-scale Zerg swarm would be no problem!"

One must know,

what kind of existence are the Zerg?

They are hailed as one of humanity's most terrifying enemies besides the Abyss, roaming the depths of space, devouring everything, like locusts, plundering countless resources!

Even stars, known as the ultimate desolation for life, were no exception, unable to resist large-scale Zerg invasions!

The Human Alliance,

in the early days of discovering the Zerg, there were attempts to domesticate them.

But a huge problem was discovered.

No matter how the Zerg were cultivated, even if they were branded with a slave mark beforehand, as long as they possessed a trace of Zerg bloodline,

they would be controlled by the Zerg Matriarch!

This matter was originally extremely secretive, and the Zerg Matriarch had never used it.

Until one day,

historically, an unprecedented war between humans and Zerg broke out!

At the most critical moment,

the Zerg Matriarch revealed this long-buried trump card, and a large number of Zerg turned against the Star Zerg, causing severe casualties to the Human Alliance and almost leading to the loss of the Great Wall defense line!

After this incident,

domesticating the Zerg became something countless Creators yearned for, yet were helpless to achieve.

But now,

Su Bai found that he had a chance to control this almost perfect race.

For this,

he was even willing to take risks! To capture this Brain Bug alive!

"Rollback to the point in time before the seven Silver Ranks perished."

At Su Bai's command,

time flowed backward again, finally returning to the initial death point of the seven Silver Ranks. New memories flooded his mind,

the Origin Realm Army inside the Zerg Hive,

immediately understood that they had another chance to start over.

Especially after getting the precise location of the Brain Bug, led by Alice, the army set out in full force! Avoiding traps all the way, continuously closing in on the Brain Bug's position!

Sulfuric acid, plasma, pulse waves... repelling wave after wave of Zerg armies, their bodies stained crimson with blood, the number of dead Zerg was already incalculable,

after advancing a hundred thousand meters,

finally,

they reached the end of the Zerg Hive.

Bang—

With a soft sound, the stone wall shattered, and a massive Brain Bug was crawling within, staring dumbfounded at the group of unfamiliar life forms before it.

It seemed to still be wondering,

why hadn't the many traps it set worked?

Su Bai didn't give it much time to think, as delay could lead to complications.

The next moment,

the Two-Winged Seraph, Queen of Blades, Levi... and many other Silver Rank combatants acted simultaneously!
