Subsequently, Lin Fan returned to the Tier 2 Zerg Base, where Scarlet Witch had already emerged from her Zerg Queen Transformation and officially became a member of the High-Tier Zerg.
In the hall, Lin Fan sat on the throne, with Supreme Zerg Queen Izsha positioned to his left.
Scarlet Witch knelt on the ground, her beautiful face even more enchanting, her figure more voluptuous, and she devoutly declared, "Dominator, Zerg Queen Scarlet Witch offers you her highest loyalty. I am willing to give everything you desire."
Zerg Queen Transformation instills absolute loyalty to the Dominator in the modified target, as the Insectoid Collective Consciousness tolerates no defiance.
Scarlet Witch's mutant ability is Probability Manipulation.
She can communicate with the Origin of this World, influencing, changing, and correcting all things that exist within the World.
However, the so-called Probability Manipulation means that the modified results are random, but Zerg Queen Transformation fixes this uncertainty.
Her ability is directly linked to her own Mental Energy.
Origin is a profound and mysterious concept.
Yet, the rules that constitute the World, and the destination of Souls after human death, are all controlled by the Origin.
If Scarlet Witch grows, controlling the Origin of the entire Planet, then the Zerg will be empowered by the Origin, gaining a significant advantage in home combat.
In terms of role positioning, Scarlet Witch is a support hero, and she will also remain stationed within the Zerg Base.
Ding! First Zerg Queen successfully acquired!
Reward: Zergling variant branch, Leapers.
Lin Fan's lips curled into a smile, and he said, "Izsha, prioritize resources towards the Leapers, and quickly assemble a Leapers unit. We're going to have a big operation tonight."
"Yes, Dominator, your will is everything," Izsha respectfully replied. She then closed her eyes to contact the Zerg Base and deploy the forces.
Lin Fan pulled up the data for the Leapers.
Leapers: Zergling variant branch. Skilled climbers, their special body structure allows them to temporarily glide at low altitudes, grabbing any target within low-altitude range. They are inherently aggressive and are the fiercest melee unit. They possess Tier 3 physical capabilities and Tier 2 Mental Energy. Hatching requires 1 Zergling, 50 biomass, and 15 seconds. Can evolve further.
If Splitter win through numbers, then Leapers win through quality. As a variant branch of a basic melee unit, their focus is highly efficient and comprehensive, truly a result of tens of thousands of adjustments.
Izsha then opened her eyes and said, "Dominator, 50 Hydralisk units have already been assembled. The remaining energy blocks are being evenly distributed for other uses."
After the Zerg Base was promoted to Tier 2, its efficiency in using the Tesseract increased to 0.2%, allowing it to collect 2000 energy blocks daily. However, for Tier 2 units, this is still insufficient to meet hatching demands.
"That's enough... Queens' anti-air forces will be provided by Elizabeth's HYDRA. The Hydralisk unit will be hidden as a finishing strike team, making sure to disperse. We need to ensure the Military's air-dropped helicopters don't return," Lin Fan said coldly.
Soon after, the hall was filled with Leapers, their numbers reaching a total of 3564.
There was now half an hour left until Gentek and Umbrella's airdrop.
Lin Fan led this group of Leapers to the isolation wall in Queens. These walls were eight meters high, supported by mechanical steel frames, then rapidly formed by pouring concrete, possessing extremely high hardness and a thickness of up to three meters.
Lin Fan originally had no flying units, so breaking through the gap would definitely not have been advantageous, but now the Leapers would absolutely surprise the Military.
He now only needed to sit inside the Overlord, embracing Scarlet Witch's body and playing, waiting for those air-dropped helicopters to approach.
On the other side.
Gentek's cargo helicopters were already approaching the isolation wall.
Mother Elizabeth's HYDRA, hundreds of them, were all gathered here, hidden underground, ready for an ambush at any time.
Dozens of large storage tanks full of Space Spiders, each containing tens of thousands of small spiders, would revive once the frozen nitrogen gas dissipated and quickly seek out any host to begin evolving.
If they were allowed into Queens, then the more than two million survivors inside would become sacrifices, and the future power dynamics would also become a pipe dream.
Transport pilot: Gentek airdrop target, Third Branch Marine Corps, Military Base coordinates, 125-847, currently passing through the isolation wall.
Just a few kilometers after leaving the isolation wall, Mother Elizabeth had already learned the transport's location. The HYDRA units traveled underground.
Huge asphalt blocks ambushed dozens of transports from behind.
"Report! We've been ambushed! Airdrop target will not reach the designated location."
"Request immediate release of experimental targets..."
"Ah... We're crashing... Help."
"Parachute won't open!! Damn it..."
Dozens of transports crashed near the isolation wall. The transported storage tanks shattered, and frozen nitrogen gas was leaking.
Some fingernail-sized spiders rolled out. Although covered in ice shards, under the Overlord's scan, these small creatures were rapidly reviving.
At the same time, Umbrella's transports, only three of them, were dropping from three different directions, which left Mother Elizabeth no time to intercept all of them.
However, Lin Fan's Hydralisk finishing strike team had already deployed nearby.
Moon Goddess, a biochemical weapon that can release neurotoxin. Living people nearby, if exposed to the airborne neurotoxin, will rapidly turn into frenzied zombies, extremely agile, and capable of corpse explosion.
