Emergency Rescue

Because the distance is too far.

Moreover, the terrain in the middle was completely dark, making it impossible to observe the actual terrain.

Linsey gave a rather vague estimate that it would probably take more than three months for the Sand Dune to return to the Banyan Forest.

"Time, distance."

"Even for the Awakened, the distance of a world is still vast..."

Linsey recalled her experiences in the Black Mountain World.

Looking back now, those adventures that traversed the world are truly moving.

Then, Linsey saw off the guests who had come to witness the ceremony.

Elder Ryan and the guards of the Banyan Forest were told to return directly to deliver the message.

But Linsey herself stayed in Mist Canyon.

With abundant resources, he guided the insect people in building their homes, and their development speed was extraordinary.

Just two days have passed.

The Zerg Mother Nest has now completed all the level 1 buildings.

Furthermore, more than a dozen insectoids also received training in the [Worker Bee Nest] and acquired basic worker bee abilities.

"Lord Linsey, I feel that my thoughts can connect with those of other tribe members. I... I can give them orders directly from a great distance without even speaking?"

On the fungal carpet, the Lamenter confided his feelings to Linsey.

Having accepted the identity of the Zerg Commander, he now possesses a powerful ability to control his people, much like the Zerg leader in some science fiction settings.

Linsey waved with a smile:

"Don't worry, this is only the First Stage of the ability."

"Once this base is fully constructed and upgraded, your abilities will become even stronger!"

The Lamenter had no doubt about Linsey's statement.

He looked into the depths of the cave, and using his identity as the Zerg Commander, he could sense his people working on the fungal carpet.

Over there at the [Breeding Pool], there is even the power of the same race that appears out of thin air.

Those compatriots who were "manufactured" lack normal self-thinking ability and behave like puppets.

From a biological perspective, however, they are undoubtedly individuals who meet the conditions for life.

"..."

The Lamenter turned their attention back to Linsey in silence.

He thought of the Corruption Poison that had been eradicated by the other party, and everything that had happened in the tribe. The Lamenter became even more aware of Linsey's power, and his loyalty instantly surged several notches higher.

In contrast, Linsey is now somewhat troubled.

After the Second Base was built, the issue of development arose.

The current problem is that upgrading to Tier 2 technology at the Zerg Mother Nest also requires a certain number of players, and it's even more demanding than for the Terrans.

It requires a population of 200 people just to advance from level 1 to level 2.

The current number of members in the Insectfolk is 87.

The Mutated Sheath Blade Insect are considered auxiliary units and are not included in the official population.

As for the bonuses from buildings.

[Breeding Pool] can provide one population increase per day, and is a level 1 Insect Nest base. You can have a maximum of three at the same time.

Let's convert it.

It will take at least another month before Linsey can upgrade the Zerg Mother Nest to Tier 2 technology.

"So, should we stay here and wait for the Second Base to upgrade, or return to the Banyan Forest to further consolidate the situation at the main camp..."

Linsey fell into thought.

Before he set off, he knew that the trip would take a long time, so he expanded the buildings in the Banyan Forest in advance, so that there would be no problem if he did not return in a short period of time.

Moreover, it stems from the perspective of a player's heart.

He was also curious to see what the Zerg's architecture would look like in this world.

[Emergency Rescue]

The allies who supply the territory with iron ore are under attack, and they have appealed to the world's greatest Lord for help.

[Mission Rewards: Aid Army Flag, random resources, attribute/ Skill Experience Points.]

"..."

"Ah?"

Linsey looked stunned.

He was still thinking about his next move a second ago, but unexpectedly, the Task Bar suddenly gave him a strong recommendation at this moment.

Then, Linsey opened a brand new Strategic Map.

The mission description made it very clear that he ignored the Insect Nest and the Forest City, and directly began to check the condition of the iron mines in the eastern Wasteland based on his memory.

Because soldiers were dispatched to provide assistance, along with messenger caravans.

These places were also mostly illuminated by the Fog of War.

"Everyone, step back!"

"Hold your formation and don't panic!"

"If we can escape underground, we can go back alive!"

In the dimly lit underground mine tunnels, Vivian was organizing her people in an effort to save themselves.

Since the last trip to the Cinnabar Mine, Linsey has assigned this designated successor the task of communicating with various forces and maintaining trade routes.

In this way.

Vivian was able to get to know the leaders of other forces as much as possible and build a reputation throughout the land.

Today, they went to a remote mountain iron mine.

Vivian came as an envoy to discuss cooperation.

Given the current reputation of the Banyan Forest, the negotiations went smoothly, and the delegation received excellent hospitality.

But fate can be unpredictable.

Just fifteen minutes ago, an earthquake struck the mine.

The inhabitants of the Wasteland land do not know the technology to maintain the mine tunnels.

As the train stumbled violently upon landing, the surrounding earth and rocks crumbled, and dust surged in from all directions along the passage, tearing the torchlight to shreds.

For a time, the people underground...

It felt as if the whole world was a bag full of pebbles, and it was being shaken constantly!

Doomsday and despair fall continuously along the crumbling rubble!

In this case...

Two guards trained by elite soldiers immediately flanked Vivian, protecting her.

The little girl immediately grabbed one of the men's arms.

In the midst of the crisis, she displayed a composure and judgment far beyond her years, shouting loudly to those around her:

"Everyone, form ranks, protect your heads, and retreat in the direction you're going!"

"If we stay here and the earthquake worsens, we'll all die!"

We must get out of here by any means necessary!

The soldiers from the Banyan Forest were professionally trained and had the added advantage of Module Tactics.

After Vivian spoke, they were almost completely obedient. They regrouped in the chaotic space and retreated out of the disorganized mine tunnel.

They walked several dozen meters away.

Vivian, who was being protected, suddenly changed her expression. She thought about her purpose in coming here and the specific situation inside the iron mine:

"If there are any local indigenous people along the way, take them with you too!"

Vivian knew that it was impossible to save everyone now.

But on her escape, she would still lend a helping hand to those she could.

The soldiers also strictly followed orders.

Just as they were evacuating from the chaos, a child being carried by a soldier suddenly struggled and cried out:

"Let me go! Let me go! I don't want to go!"

Before the soldier holding the child could speak, Vivian stepped forward and called out:

"Listen, let's get out of here first!"

"Only by surviving can there be hope for everything else!"

The child looked at Vivian and shouted in a tone full of hatred:

"Behind my father!"

"What do you know, you idiot?"
