Walk alone in the abyss

The suspended taxi ran wildly on the farmland path, and drove towards the corresponding position on the edge of the underground base at high speed.

The turmoil in the base didn't last long. When Naldo stuffed the backpack into Hera's hands, the light in Hera's eyes quickly faded, and she lay on the ground panting continuously.

Nardo immediately wanted to move forward to help Hera.

Professor Pat made a sudden move and pushed Naldo against the wall. Those sharp eyes seemed to be able to pierce Naldo's face.

"What's the matter!"

"If I knew what was going on, I wouldn't let this backpack leave her body!" Naldo growled.

Pat stared at Naldo.

More figures in protective clothing appeared in the corridor, watching in silence.

"It was the queen who influenced me."

Hera spoke suddenly.

Her petite body looked very weak under the iron arms of the mechanical guards.

Hera said: "This is another purpose of my coming here, professor, do you still remember the experimental sample that I swallowed in my mouth when we conflicted?"

Pat let go of Naldo, looked left and right, and down at Hera.

"Leave, send a team of mechanical guards here," Pat said immediately, "Hera, I have to isolate you now."

"I understand, I will stay here and don't let my backpack leave me," Hera said indifferently, "This is the backpack I soaked with pheromone, which can affect the microorganisms in my body."

"Microbes?" Pat frowned, "Is it really cluster biological information?"

"The bugs we see may not be the real bugs, or maybe they are just part of the concept of space bugs."

Hera closed her eyes and said quickly:

"I haven't figured out what happened to me and how it happened.

"But obviously, I had similar symptoms on Austar, and the queen mother worm can directly control my body, which means that I have achieved cross-airspace communication with the mother worm.

"The current me is equivalent to a mutilated Zerg larva. It is a wise choice to isolate me, but before that, I want to take a look at the mother worm."

She slowly raised her head and looked at Pat:

"I will go with my backpack on my back. After that, I will cooperate with all your experiments."

"That's impossible." Pat took two steps back.

"professor!"

"No," Professor Pat shook his head resolutely, "We can't make mistakes again and again. If there is a problem, we must stop the loss. I will place you in a separate space with strong magnetic isolation, where it has been proven that the larvae cannot communicate with the mother. "

Naldo hurriedly said: "She may be right..."

"you shut up!"

Professor Pat yelled: "You have caused too much trouble! Dr. Naldo!"

"Yes," Naldo held his forehead, and there was a buzzing in his ears.

Two mechanical guards controlled by humans remotely lifted Hera up.

Hera obviously had an emotion called anxiety, and kept shouting:

"Professor, I need to see that thing, I will definitely make a breakthrough in this field."

"Father, Dad! I must unravel the mystery of me...if it affects me, why did it affect me only recently!"

"You can't control the Zerg at all! This is brewing disaster! I am the evidence! I am the best evidence!"

A special anesthetic needle appeared on the back of Hera's neck, and the injection was quickly pushed in.

Hera's eyes slowly closed, and she was supported by the mechanical guards, and she slowly rushed towards the isolation room in the distance.

The backpack fell to the ground and was picked up by the mechanical guards behind.

Professor Pat raised his hand to his forehead and opened his mouth to say something, but he just stared in the direction of Hera.

The experimenters everywhere stared at the direction Hera left. The news that the little girl was 'infected by the Zerg' had begun to spread, which made them panic.

Dr. Naldo's legs seemed to be a little weak.

He leaned on the wall to get support, but his body slid down uncontrollably, as if he had sunk into the bottom of the sea, and it was difficult to breathe at this moment.

The atmosphere in the corridor became more and more oppressive.

Those experimenters began to return to their jobs one after another.

Professor Pat sighed slightly: "Naldo..."

boom!

The base suddenly shook.

Professor Pat's face was a little pale, and the red warning light on the wall beside him had begun to flash rapidly.

"Professor Pat! The female worm suddenly woke up and hit the petri dish!"

"This bastard bug!"

Professor Pat swears, grabs Nardo, and pushes Naldo's shoulder hard.

"Get to work! This is the only way to save your daughter's life!"

"Okay Professor," Naldo's voice regained his composure, "I'll go back right away."

boom!

The base trembled slightly again, the safety gates began to drop rapidly, and a large number of mechanical guards rushed to the position where the female petri dish was.

But this time, what the human workers in the base didn't notice was that although the female worms reacted violently, the ordinary worms were just trembling uncomfortably, and didn't directly riot, nor did they trigger the automatic firing of laser cannons.

A tiny crack appeared on the huge metal cover of the mother worm's petri dish, and the crack was expanding rapidly.

above the base.

Outside a fenced-in scorched farmland, a hover taxi hides in the shadow of a metal shed.

Yang Ming sat quietly in the back seat, except for a little heavy breathing, there seemed to be no other abnormalities.

In fact, Yang Ming could hardly resist kicking open the door, digging through the ground, and go find those bugs to fight to the death!

Mad, are the space zerg the cubs who stole the ancient god's life body? No, there is no saying that the life forms of the ancient gods have multiplied, and it is impossible to have cubs.

"Lun, how much have you collected?"

"Boss, the sensing element on that card is relatively simple, and the collected data is not too much."

"Continue collecting."

"Good boss...don't push yourself too hard."

Ritsu spoke worriedly, then fell silent.

Yang Ming struggled to adjust his breathing, trying to focus on the projection screen in front of him, observing the path Hera was being dragged through.

Hiss——

It was as if the sound of a snake spitting out a letter appeared out of thin air.

Yang Ming's eyes were in a trance, and he saw the background of the starry sky again. He saw a huge python from a distance, but he could see it when he got closer. It was an ugly and huge bug.

Queen Mother Bug!

Its upper body has a vaguely humanoid silhouette, its head has overlapping sharp teeth, and its bloated tail is the birthplace of the swarm.

Second-order female worm!

The second-order female worm that is about to evolve!

The female worm is struggling.

It was trembling, trembling, and instinctively terrified.

Yang Ming's irritable mood suddenly became icy cold.

When the desire to kill reached a peak, what followed was incomparable reason and calmness.

He watched the female worm under the background of the starry sky, and strands of wonderful information appeared in Yang Ming's perception. This kind of information came from nowhere, and it was not in human language, but Yang Ming could understand it.

Yang Ming seemed to be connected to the communication network of the swarm;

He even saw fragments of the mother worm's fragments of memory.

It was excavated from the ground by some human beings in the egg, just under the ground of this planet Ramu, and then it was isolated and studied by the research institute on the spot.

Research on it continued for a long time, changing six or seven generations of researchers.

These experiments have gradually made breakthroughs. Researchers may not understand the principle, but they are good at summarizing, but they can derive phenomena based on phenomena.

It has not yet evolved to a high level, and it can already produce queen eggs.

Each queen egg symbolizes a group, and it is also the true 'genetic inheritance' of the queen mother.

These queen eggs were taken from it and sent to a distant star field.

Yang Ming felt something in his heart and suddenly raised his head.

In the starry sky overhead, hundreds of dim stars suddenly flickered brightly.

That seemed to portend something.

Yang Ming didn't have time to think about it, and Lu's voice suddenly sounded:

"Boss! The key data has been collected, Hera has been locked in a strong magnetic isolation room, and the transmission has been cut off."

Yang Ming shook his head violently, and when he lowered his head, he saw the projection screen in front of him that had stopped updating.

"Walk."

The taxi immediately turned around and left, quickly entered a fork in the road, and rushed towards the Huanxing driveway in the distance.

After leaving a relatively long distance, Yang Ming turned his head to look at the fenced fields as if feeling something in his heart.

"Law, start reporting."

"Good boss...but I have some news to tell you first."

"speak."

"The riot is still going on," said Li softly. "The Feinan detected a strong biological signal during the previous riot, and it was marked as a female insect. Now, the spirit of the female insect is unprecedentedly active. If it is not planning a big To escape means to start to evolve towards the third stage."

Yang Ming said: "Find a corner and fish me out first."

"Okay boss, the defense satellites of Star Ram are all gathering over this base, and we have a lot of space to take advantage of."

Law couldn't help but say a few more words:

"We miscalculated the value of Hera.

"This is not to say that she has scientific research ability, there is no shortage of geniuses in the galaxy.

"Law means that she can communicate with the Zerg Queen."

"You're wrong."

Yang Ming said:

"The real anomaly didn't originate with Hera.

"If Hera's theory is true, and the space zergs rely on the microbes residing in their bodies to communicate across airspace, then the microbes must belong to the high-dimensional life group.

"This kind of ghost should be able to reside in the human body, even if the probability is low, it is not impossible.

"What's unusual is the female worm. It has been trapped here for at least decades, or even hundreds of years. The research team alone has changed seven or eight times. The number of mines planted by the new federation to Sherman is beyond our imagination.

"Humans study the female worms, and the female worms are also observing humans. It is hard to say whether there is an attachment relationship formed. She can directly ask Professor Pat and others for help, which is a manifestation of understanding the logic of human behavior.

"If you put aside the so-called interstellar political struggle, this female worm secretly spread the group to a fairly wide range of airspace before it evolved to a high level.

"Made! These federal guys are really worthless!"

Law suddenly said: "Boss, according to the reaction of the bioenergy detector, it seems to have begun to evolve rapidly, and the bioenergy reaction inside the base suddenly increased...the number is exaggerated and somewhat abnormal."

Yang Ming inexplicably thought of a word.

"Explosive soldiers."

"What? Boss?"

"The female worm has the ability to catalyze the immediate hatching of all eggs. The hatched larvae will be small in size and have a limited survival time, but they can appear in large numbers in a short period of time, and a small part of the larvae may be directly transformed into high-level insects. The shape of the shell is broken."

Yang Ming's mouth twitched slightly.

If, he means if.

The last time he appeared in this area, the female worm was preparing to explode and escape.

During this period of time, the in-egg differentiation of the larvae has been completed...

"Boss, the current area can be transmitted, and there is a huge gap in the opponent's satellite monitoring network."

"transmission."

A beam of strong light flickered, and Yang Ming's figure suddenly disappeared.

Almost Yang Ming just left the surface.

A beam of fire suddenly erupted from the center of the enclosed area, the ground trembled violently, and a mushroom cloud slowly rose.

In the underground base.

Professor Pat's eyes widened, and he looked at the incalculable and countless larvae on the screen in disbelief.

They rushed towards the laser cannons frantically, at the painful price of 50% of the number sacrificed, in exchange for the laser cannons being dismantled in large numbers.

In the corner, there were a few larvae with silver-white light shining behind them, and they kept shaking their wings lightly, and the remote-controlled mechanical guards went offline at the same time.

The metal cover of the huge petri dish was directly lifted off, and the huge, bloated and inconvenient female worm was biting the large piece of metal with its terrifying mouthparts.

One after another, the larvae flew towards the mother insect, and burrowed straight into the mother insect's mouth.

The scalp-numbing chewing sound echoed in Professor Pat's ears.

"Stop it... it wants to evolve... the third-order female insect can cause a qualitative change in the swarm! Damn it! We didn't even notice that they were hatching by suicide!"

Professor Pat yelled:

"Notify the defense fleet to prepare! Base No. 1 implements an emergency evacuation plan! Destroy all backup files!"

...

Feinan.

Yang Ming sat on the captain's chair, staring at the planet outside the porthole. He casually picked up the distilled water sent by 026, raised his head and took a few mouthfuls.

"Boss," 026 reminded, "Your body index is a little abnormal, do you need an injection of gene stabilization fluid?"

"A shot."

"I'll get it now!"

026 hurried away.

Li, who was wearing a dark blue uniform, appeared beside Yang Ming. She put her hands behind her back and also stared at Ram Xing.

The Feinan was moving away rapidly, and in order to maintain its secrecy, it did not start the jump directly.

"Boss, there is no sign of our exposure for the time being. They only pay attention to the bugs, but we also left some traces. It will be a matter of time before we are discovered."

"It's good that no one finds out now," Yang Ming smiled, "How is it? The network of the New Federation is not so easy to invade, right?"

"I was almost spotted by their technical team a few times," Li Heng said, "I am a mechanical thinking body, and I have completely lost my home court advantage."

"Don't underestimate the galactic civilization."

Yang Ming rested his arms on his pillow, staring at Ram Star.

"Lü, how is our harvest this time?"

"The expected goal has been achieved," Lu quickly counted. "The enhanced injection formula has been obtained. After preliminary analysis, you, the boss, can also use it. However, the effect of the increase is not certain, and the side effect is that it is easy to go berserk."

Yang Ming's eyes lit up: "Going berserk is a trivial matter, survival is the key."

"That's right," Lu said with a smile, "The information on the secret base of Ram Star should be regarded as the biggest gain of this trip. We can implement the follow-up strategy of driving away wolves and tigers, and win enough development opportunities for our side."

"It's quite complete," Yang Ming said with satisfaction.

"Uh, boss, don't you have any regrets for Miss Hera?"

"We are using each other," Yang Ming shrugged, "I admire this woman, but unfortunately, it will be difficult for her to get rid of the clutches of the New Federation in the future, and I hope she can closely guard Alex's secret... I can finally go Scraped the dressing off my face..."

026 has already run back holding the injection.

Just as Yang Ming was about to inject, his eyelids twitched slightly, and the familiar feeling of irritability appeared in his heart inexplicably, but this time it was very slight.

How is this going?

Yang Ming grabbed the 'skin breaker' and stared in the direction of Ram Star.

There, a military transport ship lifted off at full speed without opening the protective cover, and a layer of flames appeared on the periphery.

Law quickly zoomed in on the image of the transport ship, and 026 beside him let out a soft breath.

The periphery of the spaceship was densely covered with larvae.

"Lil, enlarge its porthole!"

"yes."

A somewhat blurry moving image appeared in front of Yang Ming's eyes.

Inside the porthole, more than a dozen human crew members stood tremblingly in front of the console. Behind them, the adult insects that Yang Ming had seen in the pictures and were studied raised their sharp knives against these behind the crew.

Further back, larvae spread all over the floor.

I can vaguely see the female worm that has changed its appearance, and a tentacled penetrating shoulder blade, suspended in mid-air, but with an extremely indifferent expression and green eyes...

Hera.

026 and Lv exchanged glances, and Lv had already begun to report quickly:

"Boss, a fleet of the New Federation is jumping here!"

"The transport ship ahead is starting to make a forced jump!"

"This female worm is really going to escape! This transport ship may not be able to withstand the gravitational tear during the forced jump, but the female worm will definitely survive!"

"Follow up."

Yang Ming calmly ordered.

"Boss?" Law was a little puzzled.

Yang Ming narrowed his eyes slightly: "I want to try hunting the Zerg and see what I can gain."

"But... good boss, I will try my best to calculate a safe time," Lu looked worriedly at the injection that Yang Ming put down.

She knew that Yang Ming was not driven by the instinct of the ancient god.

The boss desires to become stronger.

At least, to become stronger than Whirling.

The transport ship forcibly jumped, and the rear half of the hull tended to disintegrate.

Law accurately calculated the opponent's landing point, and the Feinan quickly followed suit.

"Boss, we don't have much time. The powerful fleet of the new federation will appear at any time."

"Prepare for particle transfer."

Yang Ming rushed to the corner, where the white exoskeleton armor was once again useful:

"Law, the captain's authority is temporarily handed over to you. Now you are in command, and you can transfer me back at any time."

"Understood," Lu's eyes lit up immediately.

Temporary promotion.
