Swallowed Star: The Zerg Overlord

Chapter 57: Treatment

"It's time to go back."

Standing up, Qin Mu shook his still slightly dizzy head and arranged for the Golden Flame Eagle to pick him up.

He linked his mind to the Zerg units he had prepared to sell to the military. These units were neither too many nor too few, totaling over 5,000. Among them, there were 1,000 each of Tiger Mastiffs, Single-Horned Boars, Shadow Cats, and Gray Cloud Sparrows. Each Zerg unit had 900 soldier-level and 100 Commander-level monsters.

After so many days of development, these units had already produced a large number of Commander-level. However, these Zerg units had basically been phased out and were no longer the main units.

In addition to these four types, there were also some mixed monsters like Tiger Cats, Golden Vultures, and Wild Bulls. Their strength ranged from soldier-level to high-level Commander. The soldier-level monsters were not expensive, with each one costing only tens of thousands of yuan. All the soldier-level monsters combined were worth only a few hundred million.

The real value lay in the Commander-level monsters. A dead primary Commander-level Tiger Mastiff was worth 10 million yuan, and Qin Mu sold them to the military for 50 million each. The prices for mid-level and high-level Commanders were even higher. These were the cheapest Tiger Mastiffs. Flying monsters like the Golden Vultures were even more expensive. These Zerg units were worth over 100 million.

And this was just some of the Zerg units Qin Mu had phased out.

Was this price expensive? Of course not. If used properly, they could generate benefits far exceeding this price.

For example, those Golden Vultures, the weakest of which were primary Commanders, could be used by the military as fighter jets. In the army, the cheapest fighter jet cost 1 billion.

There were no Horde Leader monsters among these. The current Zerg swarm didn't have many Horde Leader monsters, and those Qin Mu had were all subjugated one by one. He would never sell them.

After hiding these monsters in a forest, Qin Mu soared into the sky and landed on the head of the Golden Flame Eagle. The Golden Flame Eagle let out a cry and flew towards the military camp at a terrifying speed of eight times the speed of sound.

In the sky, Qin Mu dialed the number of Commander Tong from the Northern Military Region to have him send people to receive the monsters. When he handed over more than 5,000 monsters to the dumbfounded Commander Tong, Qin Mu only made some arrangements before controlling the Golden Flame Eagle to fly towards Jiangnan Base City.

"A high-level Horde Leader monster, the Golden Flame Eagle." Watching the Golden Flame Eagle disappear into the sky in an instant, Commander Tong was shocked.

In his ear, Qin Mu's words still echoed, asking him to help with the handover of the Palace of Wargods' assessment task.

That's right, Commander Tong also served as an evaluator for the assessment task. When Qin Mu handed over a device containing the combat video to Commander Tong, the assessment was completed.

In fact, upon seeing the Golden Flame Eagle, Commander Tong contacted Chairman Jia and confirmed Shen Mu as an Invincible Wargod. This was a high-level Horde Leader Golden Flame Eagle. Just one of them could easily slaughter the entire camp.

When the money was transferred into his account, Qin Mu only glanced at it before no longer paying attention.

Of course, this money was a lot for ordinary people—an unimaginable fortune. But for some people, it wasn't much at all. It wasn't even enough to buy one portion of the Spirit of Nature. Truly good items were hard to buy with money.

With the speed of the Golden Flame Eagle, it didn't take long to arrive above Yangzhou City. Descending from the sky into the Shengshi Jiangnan residential area, Uncle Qing was already waiting.

"Uncle Qing, let's go. We'll go straight to Jiangnan First Military Academy." The moment he saw Uncle Qing, Qin Mu smiled.

"You just returned from the wilderness, why don't you rest first? I'm not in a hurry." Looking at the dusty Qin Mu, Uncle Qing, who had calmed down, shook his head. He had been disabled for many years and didn't mind waiting another day.

"No need, let's go restore your arm first. Do you have any friends who need to come along? If so, let's go together. I've also invited other friends to meet in Jiangnan Base City."

It was clear that Uncle Qing was also very excited. Qin Mu didn't feel like resting either.

"Yes, I have a comrade-in-arms who has helped me a lot over the years. He lost a leg in the battle against monsters." Seeing Qin Mu say this, Uncle Qing didn't insist.

"Then let's go together."

Immediately, Uncle Qing took out his phone and called his friend. The three of them took a train together to Jiangnan Base City. When Qin Mu and the others arrived at Jiangnan Base City, they met Luo Feng, who was pushing his brother Luo Hua. They were actually on the same train, just not in the same carriage.

"Brother Mu." Seeing Qin Mu, Luo Feng's expression became somewhat excited. Luo Hua was even more nervous, unable to speak. Luo Feng and Luo Hua were undoubtedly both true geniuses, one with a talent for cultivation and the other in finance.

Patting Luo Feng on the shoulder, Qin Mu smiled and stopped Luo Feng from saying what he wanted to say. At this time, giving Luo Feng a regeneration potion was a greater kindness than giving him a supreme treasure when he became stronger in the future.

When everyone gathered with the members of the Fire Hammer Squad and rushed to Jiangnan First Military Academy, the sky had already darkened.

Non-students were not allowed to enter Jiangnan First Military Academy at will, and there were armed soldiers guarding the entrance. Therefore, before coming, Qin Mu had already called Professor Zhou, who had arranged for a student to wait for them.

The student wore thick glasses and was somewhat frail. He was a graduate student under Professor Zhou and had some understanding of Qin Mu's strength through Professor Zhou. After learning that the very obedient monster in the experimental base was tamed by Qin Mu and given to Professor Zhou, his attitude was very respectful.

"Mr. Qin, I am Lin He, Professor Zhou's student. Professor Zhou is waiting for you in the laboratory. He's too busy to leave, so I'll take you there."

Qin Mu nodded and thanked him. "Thank you for the trouble."

The members of the Fire Hammer Squad didn't follow them inside and waited outside. Luo Feng pushed his brother Luo Hua and Zhang Ke followed closely behind.

The environment inside Jiangnan First Military Academy was quite nice, with many young people coming and going, making it quite lively. However, no one had the mind to pay attention to these things at this time. Under Lin He's lead, they walked towards the interior of the school.

Jiangnan First Military Academy was very large, with many high-end research rooms and strong security forces, even with Wargods stationed here at all times.

In the end, everyone still boarded a student shuttle and drove for a long time before arriving at a very remote place in the school.

"We're here. We've arrived at the research base." Looking at Professor Zhou, who was waiting at the entrance, Qin Mu and the others got off one after another.

"Professor Zhou, we'll have to trouble you." Qin Mu said with a smile.

Professor Zhou shook his head and said, "What's the trouble? The success of the research is all thanks to the Horde Leader monster you tamed. Otherwise, who knows how long it would have taken to succeed."

A look of surprise appeared on Uncle Qing's face. He knew Qin Mu was very strong, but he never expected he had become this powerful. Any Horde Leader monster was an extremely terrifying threat to ordinary armies. Ordinary firearms couldn't harm Horde Leader monsters at all.

Luo Feng and Zhang Ke, who were following behind, were shocked. Luo Feng knew Qin Mu had a talent for beast taming, but he never imagined he could already tame Horde Leader monsters.

"It seems this research's success is closely related to Brother Mu. No wonder he could let us come here for treatment."
