Ling Yi shrugged, unfazed.
"Of course. This is an evolutionary shortcut that doesn't require killing High Tier life forms. Using Zerg biotechnology, the evolution from a low-level life form to Tier Two can be synthesized directly. The cost is a bit higher, but its advantage lies in standardizing the evolutionary model and shortening the time it takes to grow stronger."
By now, the two of them, along with the other team members, had located the massive Biological Nest inside the Hive.
