Chapter 265 Lin Xiaohe 5.5 Online
Following the Fifth Star Ring Human Fleet, Weasley and the Sonic Whales joined the battle in time.

Together they held off King Zhou for a time, but the balance of the war still tipped in his favor.

After all, although the Fifth Ring Human Fleet was very brave, they were no match for the Zerg in terms of numbers, individual combat strength, endurance, and other aspects.

Despite having the help of the Black Insectoids and Stardust Humans, they still suffered heavy losses and were repeatedly defeated.

Nevertheless, not a single spaceship attempted to escape.

As the commander of the Sixth Star Ring said, we've fled time and time again, but where can we escape to? At a critical juncture for the survival of civilization, someone always has to step forward and make the necessary sacrifices.

Lin Xiaohe, whom they risked their lives to protect, is not in good condition at the moment.

She could sense that the ten giant tombs, led by Xiao Hei, wanted to transfer the energy belonging to the Zerg into her body.

However, this modified body is rejecting this energy.

This rejection almost tore Lin Xiaohe apart.

To put it simply, Lin Xiaohe is like a new energy electric vehicle, and Xiao Hei is holding up a gasoline pipe, trying to refuel the vehicle.

If this continues, new energy electric vehicles will be ruined by the influx of gasoline.

Lin Xiaohe only has two choices.

One option was to stop Xiao Hei from refueling. But Lin Xiaohe had a deep-seated feeling that once evolution began, it couldn't be stopped. It was either success or failure.

This leaves Lin Xiaohe with only one other option: to transform her body from a new energy electric vehicle into a plug-in hybrid or range-extended electric vehicle.

Plug-in hybrid, or plug-in electric hybrid, is essentially like having two systems designed within the body: one using pure electricity (the existing way the body operates on energy), and the other using gasoline (like the Zerg). It can switch between these systems at any time; the engine can directly drive the wheels or charge the battery.

This is quite difficult and requires a good medium.

Range extenders are driven entirely by electric motors, with the vehicle's engine only used to power the motors and charge the battery. In Lin Xiaohe's case, this means installing a converter inside his body to convert Zerg energy into his own physical energy.

Both approaches have their advantages and disadvantages. The former is more difficult, but it can handle more complex scenarios.

The latter is less difficult, but upgrading the system will be constrained by its own conditions.

If one day Lin Xiaohe could replace the Insect Lord and become the new Insect Lord, but using the mysterious seed as a bridge, merging with the Stardust Mutant Plant, the Rock Clan [Source Body], and a small part of the Insect Clan's genetic fragments, her body would not evolve at such a rapid pace.

When using a plug-in hybrid system, Lin Xiaohe can switch to the insect master mode at any time to improve combat effectiveness and endurance.

In extended range mode, even if Lin Xiaohe becomes the insect master, her combat power will still be limited by her original body. At most, she will have a super energy boost that can maintain super endurance, but it will not be able to improve her combat power.

After analyzing the pros and cons of both options, Lin Xiaohe decisively chose to change towards plug-in hybrid technology.

Building two energy circulation systems within the body is an extremely complex task.

In particular, these two systems do not exist independently, but can cooperate with each other while maintaining their own independence.

Lin Xiaohe had once seen inside the giant black tomb how the tomb transmitted energy.

They used long, fleshy tubes inside the giant tomb. These tubes could draw energy and also gather the processed energy from the giant tomb into energy balls, which were then placed on a conveyor belt to feed the newly hatched insects.

Lin Xiaohe carefully recalled the material composition of the tube, imitated it, and mobilized the insect genes in her body to generate a new network of meridians next to the original meridians in her body.

This new network of meridians is like the shadow of the original meridians, almost invisible.

After the last meridian was completed, Lin Xiaohe let out a long breath.

"Infrastructure is complete; now it's time to develop the software and core." How do we guide the Zerg energy to operate according to the new network of meridians?

How can we communicate between two operating systems to prevent them from conflicting with each other?

Lin Xiaohe racked her brains but still couldn't come up with a solution.

The mysterious seed has an extraordinary desire to control its own body and will never accept the position of the second child.

Little Black looks very obedient and well-behaved, but inside he's just as domineering as other Zerg.

Its ability to coexist peacefully with the stardust-mutated plants is already a result of its self-restraint after receiving education.

"Xiao He, let me do it."

A deep male voice came from inside the body.

"DouDou?"

Lin Xiaohe saw that inside her body, countless small green dots were gathering into the shape of beans.

The branches of the bean plant are covered with bean pods, each one plump and full.

Lin Xiaohe advised, "Dou Dou, this is my first attempt. I don't know if it will succeed, or what the consequences will be. What if you become the connector that links them and can no longer materialize?"

As long as Lin Xiaohe is in a normal state, Xinbao and the others can separate from Lin Xiaohe's body and exist independently, but they cannot be too far away from her or for too long.

Although they are homebodies, they are not very willing to come out unless Lin Xiaohe calls them out.

However, whether you want to get out and whether you can get out are two different concepts.

DouDou said with relief, "XiaoHe, I'm really happy to have you as my master. I followed you from the wasteland planet all the way to the first star ring and became the president of the agricultural college. I saw many different landscapes and made many new friends."

Lin Xiaohe recalled those scenes from the past, as if they were memories from a previous life, clear yet distant.

Looking back at myself back then, I realize how immature and full of youthful vigor I was.
That kind of "I'm second to none" attitude, that kind of "I'd rather betray the world than let the world betray me" attitude, is full of the naivety of a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers.

Clearly, DouDou was also thinking back to those days, reminiscing, "I thought I could be your most important partner, able to clear away all obstacles and enemies in your path."

"Of course you're an important partner to me. You're already very capable, aren't you?"

"Yes, but I can't keep up with you anymore." DouDou's disappointment was palpable.

"Xiao He, do you remember when was the last time I fought for you?"

Lin Xiaohe was stunned; she didn't remember.

DouDou smiled bitterly, "It's been a very, very long time since I fought for you. Is it because I didn't want to? No, it's because I'm not worthy. These days, I often think about it. When I fought against the leader of the SuiXing Envoy, was the 'defective product' it mentioned referring to me? Just like how souls are weakened with each great cataclysm, are we the same?"

“Every time we enter a prehistoric civilization or a place where gods have fallen, our strength is completely suppressed, and we are unable to provide you with any help. However, the lotus wood of the Wu Clan civilization can provide you with a protective umbrella during a world-ending crisis. Compared to it, I am far too weak.”

Lin Xiaohe felt a sense of unease: "Dou Dou, aren't I the same? I'm being schemed against by those people and falling into traps all the time."

DouDou remained motionless, as if trying to etch Lin XiaoHe deeply into her heart.

　The follow-up data shows that many of the kids have gone on trips.

　　I'm so envious...
