Zhang Han was originally planning to ask a few more questions, but the colorful world repulsed him, and he instantly felt a sinking feeling in his consciousness.

"Let everything return to order, and let everything no longer be blind and foolish."

This is the last sentence left in Zhang Han's mind.

In the real world, Isa felt Overmind's consciousness tremble for a moment. She almost thought Overmind had woken up, but unfortunately she didn't.

Happiness comes and goes quickly.

That's right, how could such a broken consciousness be awakened? Isa started working harder.

In another place, under the Ascension Tower, the home planet of the Death Cult, a huge, fat rat crawled out from the desert pile of rat corpses.

It had no life, it was just a zombie. No, it was a mutated corpse formed by an unknown force. It opened its mouth, exposed its ferocious fangs, and made a terrifying sound.

"Rat God... Rat God, Rat God said he was hungry..."

This terrifying scream echoed under the empty hole, spreading farther and farther... Gradually, more rat corpses crawled out of the pile of corpses.

Like the first mouse, their eyes flashed with an ominous green light, and while they roared, they began to greedily eat the corpses on the ground.

The Death Cult has no idea that the thing that threatens them is growing and growing beneath their feet.

Overmind Zhang Han's body also recovered from the spherical protective form. In order not to be hurt by subsequent attacks, Zhang Han maintained this form for seven days, but he was exhausted.

Now Zhang Han is easily angry and irritable under the influence of Swarm Network. He is very angry about being attacked by Shroud weapon.

Because of this attack, his plan had to be changed.

Because Isa mobilized all the computing power to repair the consciousness of the human clone, and there was no excess computing power for production coordination, the efficiency of the hatching zerg fleet in Tabby's system, which had the highest output of the swarm fleet, dropped by more than half.

In order not to delay development, Isha injected energy that had nowhere to be stored into Hatchery and started the upgrade of the six-level Hatchery.

Overmind Zhang Han can no longer gather enough Swarm fleets within the planned time. Since they cannot gather them together, Zhang Han is preparing to launch a sneak attack now.

The original plan was to gather a fleet of 500,000 Swarm before launching an attack. However, due to the advance schedule, only a fleet of 350,000 Swarm was gathered.

If we were to start a battle and fight, Hatchery, the target of this attack, even if there was a fleet of 600,000 Swarm, Zhang Han felt that he could rely on his outstanding personal combat power and the blessing of the worms to achieve a crushing victory with quality.

But the two attacks on Hatchery made Zhang Han understand that these Hatchery are not easy to fight, and all of them are talented defenders. No matter how difficult the defense is, Hatchery chooses to fight to the end, and Zhang Han will be very uncomfortable.

The goal of this plan is that the three star systems are in a line on the hyperspace channel, and cannot be defeated individually.

It turns out that Zhang Han planned to use Cerebrate's plan, often sending a small number of Swarm fleets to harass, and then using mental power to simulate the vibrations of hyperspace, gradually getting used to defending Hatchery.

Finally, when the Zhang Han fleet of 500,000 Swarm launched a general attack, he could use the hyperspace vibration simulated by his mental power to fool the defense Hatchery into thinking that there was only a fleet of 100,000 Swarm.

Zhang Han can instantly rush the 500,000 Swarm fleet out of hyperspace due to the carelessness of defending Hatchery, avoiding the embarrassment of a large fleet being blocked.

With a fleet of only 350,000 Swarm, even if it breaks out of hyperspace, its combat power cannot be crushed. If it fights against 500,000 Swarm with fortifications, even if it wins, the battle loss ratio will be unacceptable to Zhang Han.

The new combat plan is more skillful. Zhang Han looks at Roach Kagat. Kagat's reputation will be the key to victory.

Hydralisk Kagar has been a little troubled recently. He is also one of the last batch of logical consciousness hatched by Overmind. He also has some ambitions to become Overmind, but his strength does not allow it.

He was worried that the Cagat who was born with him dared to harass him. Roach, who obviously had no talent or strength and was a bit reluctant as an ordinary node, actually sent the Swarm fleet to harass him repeatedly!

Recalling that when Overmind was first born, Overmind made a special battle test to test the logical consciousness ability of this batch.

In that battle test, Kagar became the top three in command level with relatively outstanding results. This is something to be proud of, which means that he will definitely become the core node to lead a Hatchery alone.

And Cagath's score was just outside the 20th place. Originally, he had no chance to become a core node. But! Among Cagath's few victories, one was against Kajal.

When Kagat's Swarm fleet in space was at a disadvantage, he used the Hatchery's reckless Roach on the ground to overwhelm Kagar's Hydralisk army, defeat Kagar's core Hatchery, and win.

This situation is relatively rare. Swarm Node's command styles have their own characteristics, and mutual restraint exists.

Out of considerations of diversified tactical thinking, Overmind still gave Kagat a chance to become the core node leading Hatchery alone.

Overmind After his consciousness was shattered, the two of them fought each other several times, with neither victory nor defeat.

Then Kajal felt that he had an advantage in operational development, so he began to expand and develop his strength. When he had three galaxies, Queen Zagara and the beast Kundla were already playing in the finals.

At this moment, Kagar realized that there was a huge gap between the first-generation logical consciousness like his and the heroic unit Zerg that had been passed down for tens of millions of years.

Putting aside his ambition, he quietly waited for the birth of the new Overmind, and was not ready to continue to cause trouble for Cagat. He was all a part of Swarm, so there was no need to be so vengeful.

Suddenly, his Cerebrate sent him another piece of detection information. In hyperspace, a fleet of 20,000 Swarm was approaching.

"It's not over yet, is it!" Kagar said angrily, his Hydralisk needle bag was bulging, ready to fire deadly steel needles at any time.

He immediately ordered his Swarm fleet to block the exit of the hyperspace channel, intending to eat all of Cagat's fleet in one go and teach this arrogant Roach a lesson.

Kagar has not deployed a spore mine field. His numerical advantage is too great. Even if his fleet of 500,000 Swarm cannot be fully deployed at the exit of the hyperspace channel, the fleet of 100,000 in front is enough to defeat Kagar.

Cagat's Swarm fleet jumped out of hyperspace on time. As soon as it appeared, it was hit by fire from all directions. However, the impact of the attack that was supposed to severely damage Cagath's fleet was not good. A strange Psionics shield blocked most of the damage.

"Huh?" Kajal has never seen this situation before, "This is the Psionics shield! Kajal, this idiot Roach, has understood the Psionics theory?!"
