Chapter 68 The Dead Zerg Mother Nest
Suk sat in the captain's seat in the central control room of the spaceship, a teacup in front of him. He took sips from time to time, his expression seemingly calm, but his gaze, fixed on the screen, betrayed his inner emotions.
The robot probed the massive, nearly kilometer-tall spherical mountain little by little.
Preliminary estimates suggest that this Zerg hive is made of at least top-tier E-class materials, comparable to a top-tier E-class spaceship of the same size.
The strongest alloy in the entire universe is E9 grade! This applies to both humankind and the more advanced machine races.
The most advanced alloy ever produced is E9. Therefore, to build an F-class spaceship, the only materials that can be used are pure natural metals.
Most immortal powerhouses use E-class peak spaceships.
The difference between the E-class peak spaceship used by immortal beings and that used by world lords is that the latter is larger in size, making it easier to build a sufficiently large power bay, thus enhancing maneuverability!
A hundred meters long versus a kilometer long. The volume differs by a thousand times, and the price also differs by a thousand times.
This is the E-class spaceship used by immortal powerhouses. The difference between it and the one used by realm lords.
"A Zerg hive with a diameter of nearly a kilometer, even if it's made of E9 grade materials, would be extremely valuable," Suk thought to himself.
An E-class spaceship used by an ordinary Realm Lord costs approximately 1 trillion cosmic coins, equivalent to 1 Chaos Unit.
The immortal beings use E-class peak spaceships, which can generally reach trillions of universe cities, equivalent to hundreds of Chaos Units.
The Zerg hive in front of Suk, nearly a thousand meters long, is a Zerg hive with a special purpose and is extremely rare. It was built by the Zerg Queen with great effort. The Zerg Queen's combat power mainly relies on the countless warriors cultivated by the hive. The weak Queen also relies on it to protect herself and escape when she encounters danger. At the same time, it is also a base for cultivating Zerg. Combining various functions, its value is immeasurably higher!
Such expensive treasures are enough to tempt even immortals and drive world lords mad.
However, Suk was also somewhat worried. "What if this Zerg hive is completely sealed off? Given the strength of the Zerg hive's defenses, I'm afraid I won't be able to get inside."
"The master has discovered something."
A shout nearly caused Suk to spill the water from his teacup.
The first thing to confirm when examining this sphere is whether there are any living creatures inside.
If there really were any survivors—even a random Zerg warrior at the World Lord level—he would have no choice but to give up.
Fortunately, Suk's worst fears did not come true; the robot discovered a huge hole in the Zerg hive.
A shocking scene unfolded: a large hole appeared somewhere on this spherical mountain, which was nearly a kilometer in diameter, as if it had been pierced by something, with a diameter of about three meters.
Suk stared wide-eyed at the scene, a thought forming in his mind: Sure enough, this Zerg hive must have been the site of a fierce battle before it appeared here.
Besides this hole, the mother nest actually has some other wounds, but none of them combined are as destructive as this hole.
Liu Mila beside him showed a happy expression. "Master, we couldn't get in before. This Zerg hive is a single, integrated structure. The pits and craters on the surface prevented our robots from entering. We couldn't even destroy the hive. But with this opening, our robots can go in and search."
"Hmm." Suk nodded, a smile also appearing on his face.
The two robots quickly received the order and went into the hole one after the other.
The hole resembled a dark, green biological tissue that had been cut open, also oozing venom. The robot cautiously advanced along the entrance to the hole. As soon as it entered, it saw red sacs that looked like some organs inside a creature, with mucus seemingly attached to their surface, and veins of varying sizes connecting them.
"The entire Zerg hive is like a giant biological weapons factory," a thought popped into Suk's mind.
The Zerg hive really does resemble a "beehive," filled with countless holes, likely a place where large numbers of Zerg warriors are bred.
Each hole is tens of meters in diameter.
Soon, new discoveries were made.
"Look, what's that?" Hail's eyes widened.
A robot was moving along a hollow passage when suddenly a figure appeared lying prone in front of it.
The robot's red crystal eyes lit up as it scanned the target. "Target shows no signs of life; dead."
It was a humanoid creature, about 30 meters tall, with its body seemingly made of countless armor plates. It had beetle-like wings and dragonfly-like compound eyes. It lay silently in the passage, yet still exuded the aura of an invisible apex predator.
"That's the Zerg," Hail said in a low voice from the control room.
"Yes, it's the Zerg." Suk slowly spoke, his eyes fixed on the screen, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness it's dead."
Everyone in the control room breathed a sigh of relief.
The robot stopped and began to examine the dead Zerg corpse closely.
Soon, the test results came back.
"There were no wounds on his body, and no signs of a fight around him. It's as if he died suddenly."
"This might be the corpse of a World Lord-level Zerg, estimated to have died tens of thousands of years ago, but the body isn't too badly decomposed, and it's not even very noticeable from the surface," Suk exclaimed upon seeing the result.
"After all, they are Zerg." Liu Mira's beautiful eyes were also filled with shock.
Not only did they see the Zerg, but they also saw the body of a dead World Lord.
This was the first time they had ever seen a "realm lord" in person, even though he was dead.
"He's been dead for so many years, yet his body is still intact?" Haile couldn't help but look at the screen.
Suk did know some of it.
The greater the strength, the slower the decay of the body!
Those ordinary people at the apprentice level begin to rot within ten days to half a month.
A cosmic-level structure can take decades or even centuries to decay.
Even if a peak Realm Lord has lived for over ten thousand years, only the rotten parts will remain. After tens of thousands of years, only the bones will remain. It will take several more decades for the bones of a Realm Lord to completely decay.
This is still talking about humans, but the Zerg have a different body structure than humans. The Zerg's surface is covered with more scales and armor, which allows them to last much longer!
Suddenly, Liu Mila asked, "Master, do you think these Zerg corpses are valuable?"

Hail immediately said, "Liumila, what nonsense are you talking about? Realm Lord level experts are extremely rare, and their bodies are of course incredibly precious. How could they be worthless?"
Suk smiled.
The corpse of a Realm Lord is certainly not as valuable as a living one, but it is still a treasure.
Based on their abilities, the Zerg can be divided into scouting, attacking, assassin, and ranged attackers.
Each major category can be further divided into dozens of subcategories. Each subcategory can be further divided into dozens to thousands of branches.
Different Zerg species naturally have different values.
He couldn't recognize what kind of Zerg it was, and as far as he knew, Zerg creatures were bought as collectibles in the 1008 universes of humanity, but the price was too high.
If this dead Zerg body could be sold, the haul would be astonishing, certainly far exceeding Suk's current wealth.
He then immediately frowned, realizing that discovering the Zerg Lord's body was a great thing, but figuring out how to get rid of it was a troublesome problem.
How can he explain where he got the Zerg corpses from?
The human race is certainly very sensitive to the Zerg.
It's difficult to handle.
For most people, this kind of treasure would be a hot potato.
