The City of Terror
chapter-512

 However, this was also a problem.

When Cerebrates sucked a human’s brain, it would also obtain a portion of the person’s memories, and from there obtain human secrets.

In other words, the Cerebrates would know matters about the real world.

Just like that, this would create problems. Wei Xiao Bei could only speculate what they would be.

There was a possibility that the Zergs would attack the real world!

Naturally, it won’t be that easy for the Zergs to enter the real world, but some Zerglings and Hydralisks might be able to enter. This was proven with the recent incident.

As long as they were willing to put in the effort, then the restrictions of the real world and the Dust World would not be able to block them.

The worst part was this point. Other monsters might need to pay a huge price to enter the real world, but Wei Xiao Bei was not worried about it. It was only one or two monsters.

However, if the Zergs were to bring the Hatchery to the real world, it would cause a catastrophe on the scale of Judgement Day!

A hatchery could produce large amounts of Zergs at the same time as it could create more hatcheries.

This was the same logic as a hen being able to lay eggs. As long as they were given time, then the Zergs would quickly spread all over Earth. Moreover, it would not be difficult for it to do so.

Naturally, in the StarCraft games, these Zerg needed minerals to quickly multiply, but things in the game might not be perfectly the same as the Dust World. It was like how the Zealots could deal with a larger amount of Zerglings as compared to the game.

Once the Zergs entered the real world, they might not even need minerals, since they could find a different substitute.

In short, Wei Xiao Bei now had a headache.

Wei Xiao Bei used [Enlightenment] to look at the three people.

This was the specialty of the Dust World. As long as one enters it, then people would more or less gain special abilities.

For example, Zhu Xin Yi gained the special skill [Charm Control] the first time she entered the Dust World.

Huang Kun also had [Fantasy Willpower]. Naturally, the activation requirements of this special skill were harsher. It needed him to be eighteen years old or his willpower, courage, and persuasiveness to reach 20 points before it can be activated.

As for Wei Xiao Bei, he had an extremely broken status panel.

This meant that the villagers also gained some benefits from the Dust World.

The one named Zhu Xiao Mao had the skill [Farming] and gained the special skill [Plant Energy] which largely increases a farmland’s energy.

Another villager Zhao Jun also had the [Farming] skill, and his special skill was crop mutation, which allowed crops to mutate. Naturally, these mutations had their upsides and downsides. Unless he sees an example, he could not determine its worth.

Finally, the last villager was named Huang Zhang Jun. His home had opened up an electronics repair shop, giving him the skill [Electric Appliance Maintenance] while his special skill was [Tools Creation].

It must be said that it was hard to evaluate the quality of these special skills. The only thing that could be said was Huang Zhang Jun’s [Tools Creation] increased his worth in battle.

 Time to gather manpower that could enter the Dust World!

This was not a thought that had been born within him just now. In truth, ever since he encountered Ash Gray, Wei Xiao Bei already had faint thoughts.

However, the number of people that could enter the Dust World in the real world was simply too few.

In simpler words, it was like finding a needle in the great sea. Even if Wei Xiao Bei wanted to gather these people, it would be difficult.

Naturally, Wei Xiao Bei also had gains in this department. Those American soldiers and Andre were the people he had gathered so far.

On the other hand, these people were fighting forces. From his point of view, people in logistics were similarly important.

Once he buys an island and finds a good path of retreat, then wouldn’t he need to find a way to feed the people of the island?

“Do you want to go back?”

Wei Xiao Bei slightly smiled and genially inquired.

“Willing! Willing! Extremely Willing!”

After entering the Dust World, the three people had been scared to death. Until now, they would do anything just to return to the real world.

Wei Xiao Bei would naturally not easily let the three people leave. After using the carrot and the stick, the three people expressed that they would keep their lips sealed.

Naturally, the ‘kindness’ that Wei Xiao Bei did was to introduce the three to some work.

It was the security company that Wei Xing Wu established.

Under Wei Xiao Bei’s arrangement, the three people would still need to enter and train in the Dust World. Naturally, it would be done under the protection and guidance of Steven and the others.

It must be said that the activation requirements of the three were laxer compared to Huang Kun. However, they still needed some status requirements, requiring them to kill some monsters and raise their attributes.

At this time, even if they were not willing in their hearts, they could only nod their heads in agreement as they believed that they would only be bodyguards once entering the company.

If they knew that they would still need to enter the terrifying Dust World once they joined the company, the three of them would have jumped up.

No matter what was said, Wei Xiao Bei had temporarily scared the three people and immediately told them how to leave the Dust World.

After seeing that the three had disappeared, Wei Xiao Bei relaxed a bit.

As long as the three people could keep their lips sealed for a certain amount of time, then the following matters would be beyond their control.

He should also hurry up. Just like that, he had to delay making contact with the human base.

Thinking about this, Wei Xiao Bei had made his decision. He arrived at the village outskirts and found Jessica and the others.

Seeing Wei Xiao Bei return, Jessica quickly went up to inspect Wei Xiao Bei for injuries.

Naturally, she also checked if there were signs of parasitism on Wei Xiao Bei.

There was a type of Zerg that could fly in the air and lay eggs on enemies without fully activating the eggs. When it was activated, the eggs would develop and become sixty-centimeter Zergs that ate the host’s body.

Toward Jessica’s worry, Wei Xiao Bei was a bit unused to it.

Although Jessica was only a clone and a derivative of science, she was still a beautiful girl.

Wei Xiao Bei could not yet treat her as a robot-like existence.

After escaping from Jessica’s touch, Wei Xiao Bei brought everyone into the village.

He picked a relatively stronger building as their stronghold and immediately distributed some food.

As for water, he did not need to worry about it.

Their armors had their water circulation cycle.

Although the feel of purified sweat and purified urine did not feel good in the mouth, it could still satisfy the human need for water.

Afterward, Wei Xiao Bei expressed that he needed to leave temporarily and told them to rest there temporarily. If he did not return after a certain period, then they should return to base.

After all, Wei Xiao Bei had given them food. Although the quality was not high, it was still food created with Dust World ingredients, capable of sustaining them for a few days.

Jessica had a premonition toward Wei Xiao Bei’s departure. She immediately passed on some ID to him, “Traveler, the base garrison is strict. This card should be able to prove your identity. Remember, when you see the sentinel, just say that you have come to find the Terran Empire’s 3rd Base 7th Corps 11th Division’s second lieutenant Jessica.”

“Okay. You have misunderstood, my name is not Traveler, but Wei Xiao Bei.”

In the end, Wei Xiao Bei left his real name before leaving.

After all, being called ‘traveler’ was not too pleasing.

Whether it was a man or woman, calling him this made him feel strange.

Afterward, the soldiers each gave their blessings to him.

Even Vernon did so. Although he scowled when he saw that Jessica gave her ID to Wei Xiao Bei, he still gave his blessings.

Perhaps in their understanding, emotions were nothing in front of the war between the races.

As for the problems of their safety, Wei Xiao Bei was not too afraid. After all, he had seen that on their way here, there were fewer and fewer Zergs the more they moved in this direction.

In other words, for the three different factions, this area should be unworthy of dispatching people to fight over.

Just like that, the safety of the place rose a lot more.

Before leaving, Wei Xiao Bei circled the village once and activated [Deductive Reasoning].

[Deductive Reasoning] was a very practical skill. After complex calculations and some mysterious processes, Wei Xiao Bei quickly found traces of the Zergs that captured the man named Zhang San Xi.

Although the traces had already gone weak, it was still enough for Wei Xiao Bei to follow.

However, he never imagined that it would be so far.

It was more than a hundred kilometers!

The amount of Zerg groups that he encountered at this time did not go below twenty. However, no matter how many of them they are, he would take a detour around them whenever he noticed them.

This could not be helped.

Most of these Zergs were simply non-intelligent creatures. Among the Zergs, only the Cerebrate and other higher-ranking Zerg rulers would have intelligence.

Most of the Zergs were merely puppets of these Cerebrates and the rulers.

The Cerebrates would have an invisible connection with each Zerg. As long as their connection was not cut, then the Cerebrates could know the situation of every Zerg.

In simpler terms, if Wei Xiao Bei made his move on the Zergs during his pursuit, it would give a warning to the Cerebrates.

If that happened, then he would immediately be encircled by the Zergs!
