Chapter 523: Chapter 522: It’s the Imagination that’s Real, It’s the Filling in the Blanks that’s Logical
How to fool the humans of this world wasn’t important to Fang Zheng, what was important was that he finally fulfilled his wish—that was to endow the Zerg with EMP capabilities.
After successfully capturing Muto back to Skull Island, Fang Zheng had a discussion with Lulana, who presented him with three upgrade options.
The first option was to integrate Muto directly into the Swarm as one of the Zerg’s military species, the advantage being it could retain all of Muto’s capabilities and provide the Swarm with a completely new type of warrior.
The second option was for the Explosive Mosquitoes to absorb Muto’s abilities, then win by sheer numbers. In this way, when the Explosive Mosquitoes rushed towards the enemy to self-detonate, they could not only inflict substantial damage but also release EMP to weaken their shields or electronic abilities.
The third option was to integrate Muto’s genes into the Flying Dragons, allowing them to use EMP in battle and entangle the enemy.
However, the first option didn’t appeal to Fang Zheng; Muto’s combat power was so weak it was pitiful, and its defense wasn’t high either. With its large body size and being only able to fly within the atmosphere—not able to join in space battles like the Flying Dragon—it made Muto’s value significantly reduced, and thus unworthy to join the Swarm. So Fang Zheng quickly abandoned the first option; after all, Muto was truly… useless.
The second and third options each had their pros and cons. The omnipresence of Explosive Mosquitoes was indeed a good method, but their small size meant that integrating Muto’s genes would greatly weaken the EMP’s range and power. This might be useful against large individual targets, but would seem wasteful against small troops. Moreover, the frailty of Explosive Mosquitoes was a major issue, meaning they might get shot down before reaching the enemy, obviously a loss-making move.
Similarly, the EMP integrated with the Flying Dragons could match Muto’s reach, but their large size made them very susceptible to attacks.
In Fang Zheng’s view, of course, the ideal would be for all units of the Zerg to carry an EMP, but unfortunately, Lulana dismissed this impractical idea. Because spreading a single gene too widely might incur irremediable losses to the Swarm, something that they always strive to avoid.
