Chapter 46: Using Cheats to Mass Produce

  The battle ended quickly.

  Even though the mimetic aliens could attack from both long and cle, the Zerg didn’t suffer much from their attacks. Two Hydralisks and seven Zerglings easily took them down. The only losses were twlings who were too exuberant when they jumped out of the ground and got impaled by the aliens' antennae as they died.

  After this battle, Alex had a better uanding of these mimetic aliens. Although their movement patterns were simir to biological creatures, they didn't seem to be purely living beings but rather some form of energy lifeforms.

  As for their bat strength, it was about the average between a Zergling and a Hydralisk. This was only discovered after Miruune analyzed the remnants of the aliens ichery. Fortunately, Alex’s guess was correct. The Zerg did detect a unique gene sequen the remains of these creatures. Acc to Miruune's analysis, this gene sequence seemed to grant immunity to time reversal.

  Moreover...

  “Master, this gene sequence accelerate the Zerg's speed. I believe it will greatly enhahe Zerg's bat power.”

  “Do you know how it works?”

  “Of course, Master. Based on my experiments, this gene sequence accelerate the time flow for the Zerg, giving them stronger bat abilities.”

  “...Is that so?”

  Hearing this, Alex frowned. Miruune's expnation was clear. In simple terms, this gene sequence would make the host's time flow faster pared to other creatures. For a normal person, one seight pass, but for the host of this gene sequewo seds would pass. Naturally, this had advantages, such as increased attack speed, frequency, and overall bat efficy.

  “Are there any side effects? If I recall correctly, the enemy also has a trol system simir to ours. I don't want my Zerg tainst me otlefield.”

  “It causes accelerated aging of the host, but this is not a problem for the Zerg, Master. As for the possibility of being trolled, it’s practically zero. The Zerg are always loyal to their master.”

  “That’s true.”

  Hearing Miruune's response, Alex thought about it and realized it made sehe Zerg either die in battle or are on the verge of death. He had never heard of a Zerg dying of old age. Accelerated aging wasn't a signifit issue for the Zerg.

  In fact, it was unknown if the Zerg even aged iraditional sense. From Alex's memory, the older the Zerg, the more formidable they became. Accelerating time flow might also accelerate the Zerg's natural evolution.

  No way!

  Thinking about this, Alex was startled. If this was true, then the alien genes in "Edge of Tomorrow" were incredibly beneficial for the Zerg. Accelerating both bat and evolution was like using a game cheat to speed up and having a bunch of Zerglings evolve into winged mutations after a stroll. o unlock the tech tree!

  No wonder Miruune looked so eager whealked about it. She must have been impatient to enjoy this geic feast.

  As for the trol issue, Alex decided to put it aside. Even if the Zerg were trolled, he could still activate Kerrigan's soul stohe Queen of Bdes would trol all Zerg, and Alex doubted any alien force could surpass the Xel'Naga's power to wrest trol from her.

  With Alex's approval, Miruune immediately began the geic modification of the Zerg. Alex didn’t know how the Zerg aplished it, but by the m, Miruued that all Zerg s and units had successfully absorbed the "time gene."

  Additionally, Alex received an ued surprise from Miruuhe time ge only beed bat units but als structures and drones.

  Sihis gene accelerated time flow, it increased speed, and since Zerg buildings were essentially living anisms, they also evolved after abs the "time gehe most noticeable improvements were faster produ, research speed, and quicker transformation of drones into structures.

  Although the time advantage was less than three seds, Alex khat even a slight advantage was signifit. Imagine pying a game where all your units were three seds faster than your oppo's. Within five minutes, your oppo would accuse you of cheating.

  The Zerg tio expand, while Alex, holding a pho from some thugs, watched a live broadcast. On the s, an elderly man in a military uniform, with white hair and a anding presence, eaking passionately.

  "This time, we will terattack. We will pletely repel the alien invaders and show them the power of humanity!"

  The se shifted to tless transport ships taking off, while the reporter’s face was tense and serious.

  "Today, brave warriors will cross the strait to face those terrifying alien monsters. Let's wish them victory and a safe return. The enemy will ultimately fail, and victory will be ours!"

  That's right, the enemy will ultimately fail, but the victory belongs to the Swarm.

  Alex put down his phone and g the time. 10:23:45. Today is the day the storyline begins.

  If Alex guessed correctly, Tom Cruise would go to the battlefield today, enter that peculiar alien in the beach battle, scream "I'm hooked, I'm hooked, dad!" and then die, only to restart again. Now, Alex was looking to see if he could gain any be from this.

  As for himself, Alex wasn't worried. This was also an experiment for him. The pn was already in motion, and even if he went back a few days, his Zerg forces were already established and couldn't be interfered with.

  Three hours ter, Alex suddenly felt a jolt in his heart. He stood up and looked into the distance. In the moment, the wind and clouds suddenly ged.

  Almost in the blink of an eye, Alex saw the world in front of him begin to ge. Everything seemed to be in reverse, but at a much faster speed, making Alex feel as if he were in a time tunnel. He could barely see the sky and the ground.

  This sted for less than ten seds. Then, Alex felt a sudden jolt, and the sery around him became clear again. Everything seemed unged, but Alex could keenly sehat something was different.

  He turned his head to see Miruuanding quietly beside him, watg him. "What's the situation, Miruune?"

  "Just as you predicted, Master. We should have just traveled through time. Do you remember what we were doing before?"

  "Discussing the evolution pn for the Zerglings?"

  "It seems you also retained your memory, Master."

  Hearing Alex's response, Miruune smiled. Alex shrugged, saying nothing more. He suspected that his safe passage through this time reversal was due to the Dimensional Codex.

  In his settings, the Dimensional Codex possessed powers beyond time and space, and it could protect its holder. Now, it seemed that the settings Alex wrote for show were quite useful.

  "Report the situation."

  "The Zerg s are all funing normally. The number of Zerg units has not decreased. Acc to the drones' reports, the resourodes they previously depleted have beeored."

  "Oh?" Hearing this, Alex's eyes lit up. "Does this mean we have unlimited resources?"

  "Indeed, my Master." Miruune's voice also grew excited. The Zerg most desired power and resources, and now they had everything they needed.

  "The's proceed." Thinking of this, Alex quickly made a decision. "Let the s hatch more drones, collect resources, and produce more Zerg units. Wheime is right, we will show the people of this world our strength!"
