Chapter 687: Chapter 684: The Ability of the Mother Nest_1

Tang Ye was startled, looking skeptically at Liang Hanyang, wondering if she was pretending earlier.

"Strange..." Liang Hanyang patted her hand, trying to withdraw it but lacked the strength to do so, she could only skeptically bend down to look under the glowing object.

"What’s going on? I can’t figure it out."

Tang Ye took a few steps forward, but Ah Fu behind him began buzzing loudly, "Boss, look, something’s coming out of this tube!"

At first, Tang Ye didn’t look. But the next second, the sounds of something falling to the ground echoed around them. Liang Hanyang and Tang Ye hurriedly looked around only to see that hundreds of hollow tentacles had emerged around them, tirelessly ejecting zombie eggs onto the ground, which was made up of the flesh of the Hive Mother.

"What’s happening?"

The zombie eggs burst open on impact, pus-yellow fluid spilling everywhere, absorbed by the Hive Mother. However, the zombies inside were not the usual pale-colored flesh without a trace of rot, but were instead full-bodied, their muscles bulging, scales covering their skin, and their skin turning a blue-black color, looking like standing towers of a ghastly shape!

Moreover, aside from their arms and hands, they also had a third arm growing out of their backs, broader than their two regular arms!

"These are... Liang Hanyang, don’t you also have three arms?"

"Um...I guess so?"

Liang Hanyang gawked at the three-armed zombies, scratching her head, unsure of what was going on.

"What the hell are these zombies..." Unexpectedly, Liang Hanyang managed to pull her hand from the flesh bowl of the Hive Mother. When she finally realized it, she cried out in surprise, her face full of joy.

"I got it out!"

Tang Ye eyed the three-armed zombies and glanced at Liang Hanyang, watching her check her hand for any injuries. Once she had withdrawn her hand, the hollow tentacles around the area stopped laying eggs. But within this short period, the Hive Mother had birthed dozens of three-armed zombies. Truly horrifying!

A hint of contemplation flashed in his eyes, as he approached a hollow cavity and plunged his hand in.

"Chairman, what are you doing?" Liang Hanyang looked at him, puzzled.

Tang Ye remained silent. As his hand entered the cavity, the surrounding flesh closed swiftly, enveloping his entire hand. After a while, Tang Ye felt several tentacle-like feelers emerge from the puncture holes under the center of his hand. Soft and slightly moist - but cold, devoid of any warmth.

"What’s this?" Tang Ye narrowed his eyes. The next moment, he felt those slight tentacles stiffen and pierce into his hand. He was startled but felt no pain—although it did unsettle him.

Every time he absorbed energy, he liked to use tentacles to penetrate the entity and suck all nutrients from its body.

However, Tang Ye quickly regained his composure, steadied his emotions and quietly waited. Soon, he shifted his gaze to the left wall of flesh, embedded with hollow tentacles that began to wriggle.

"Boss, look!"

Ah Fu quickly ran over, shouting, "It’s going to give birth again!"

Spllurt!

As a strange colored fluid spurted out of the tentacles, the entire delivery tube trembled. Unlike the earlier birth of the three-armed zombies, giving birth this time seemed much more difficult, as it struggled to expel the egg from the tube.

"Could it be a difficult labor?" Ah Fu dared to guess, causing Liang Hanyang, who was not far away, to practically choke on her own blood.

"Ah Fu, can you keep your mouth shut if you don’t have anything sensible to say?"

"Buzz off?"

Ah Fu turned his head and responded with a roar, while Liang Hanyang was about to retort but was cut off by Tang Ye’s stern voice.

"Both of you, shut up!"

Both of them hushed, watching intently at the shivering delivery tube. As time slowly passed, the swollen part of the delivery tube gradually moved towards the end.

Pop!

With a sound resembling a balloon being punctured and deflated, a delivery tube finally expelled its content. But instead of a zombie egg, it was a curled-up zombie!

"This...Why it is silver-colored?" Liang Hanyang was taken aback but soon realized and glanced at Tang Ye.

"Boss, the Hive Mother can actually create Silver Armored Zombies!"

Ah Fu was astonished. Ever since he ate Yinxiang last time, he had changed a lot. Not only did he have intelligence on par with humans, but his body had also turned silver!

All this time, of course, Ah Fu had accidentally infected some people. Although he had dealt with all of them himself, he knew that the zombies he infected were different from the others - they were these Silver Armored Zombies!

And now, the Hive Mother was producing zombies of the same type as them!

"Ah Fu, go and see if they are the same as us."

"Oh."

Tang Ye withdrew his hand, glanced around the space, and surmised that the Hive Mother had only produced about four Silver Armored Zombies as they seemed difficult to produce. Some had even gotten stuck in the delivery tentacles. But the progress was too slow, they simply watched as the swollen section of the delivery tentacles slowly deflated, and then vanished completely.

Ah Fu scratched his head and walked towards one of the Silver Armored Zombies produced by the Hive Mother. He circled it, marvelling at its likeness.

"This is uncanny."

He sighed, extending his hand to rap on the shoulder of one of the silver armored zombies.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

"Boss, it’s as hard as us!"

Tang Ye walked over, punching another Silver Armored Zombie and sending it flying, then hefelt the counterforce coming from its body.

"There isn’t much difference." He shook his head, assuming that the Hive Mother lacked the energy. Although it was able to create Silver Armored Zombies, their level was too low. They were no different from ordinary zombies, but their defense power was significantly stronger.

Tang Ye tilted his head, seemingly deep in thought. After a while, he looked up at the enormous reflective object in front of him.

Invisible mental threads extended, reaching out towards the glowing object.

The Silver Armored Zombies created by the Hive Mother could not be directly controlled by Tang Ye. They were like the ones Ah Fu had infected; Tang Ye couldn’t see from their perspective. However, the zombies he had infected himself were different. He could see through their eyes anytime, anywhere, knowing their every move.

Now Tang Ye realized what the purpose of those hollow cavities was - They could produce zombies of the same type as the one who had inserted their hand.

Just before his mental threads entered the glowing object, a message from the Hive Mother suddenly resounded in Tang Ye’s mind.

"Zombie King, what are you doing? I feel threatened."

"Don’t move." He sent back a terse reply, allowing his mental threads to enter the glowing object without any obstruction.

Buzz!

For a moment, Tang Ye’s mind went blank but quickly recovered, now aware that his mental threads had connected with the Hive Mother.

This was indeed the brain of the Hive Mother!
