Zizizi——

Human ears can't hear, and the sounds that are hidden in the air movement and can be transmitted through any medium are being transmitted outward layer by layer, drifting in all directions along with the wind.

The caverns in the underground cavern base are connected one by one, and the narrow passages link them together into a web.

Excluding the underground apron at the entrance, the largest cave is hundreds of square meters, and the smallest is only about ten square meters, and the excavation of these caves is extremely rough, and the walls of the caves are still clicking the earth because of the previous shock.

Almost every cave, large or small, has a pool filled with a black viscous liquid.

In addition, there are people planted in the pool, the turbid and smelly smell makes it impossible to breathe smoothly, and the human beings in the viscous liquid are neatly arranged, one by one like rice planting, hanging their heads silently.

Mo Ye checked all the caves, and the conditions of the humans who were planted were different, and a large part of them had obviously entered the tail stage of parasite growth, and most of the skin on their bodies was covered with black, just like those before them, and they looked dark and shiny at a glance.

The white spots are temporarily invisible with wide open eyes.

Xiao Qi recovered all the mechanical mosquitoes and flies, but less than thirty of them were successfully recovered, some of them were killed, and some of them showed that they were moving fast, and the distance was getting farther and farther away.

"The owner had several groups of mechanical mosquitoes and flies running away with the parasite team. ”

And Xiao Qi has received feedback so far, and the screen shows that there are as many as twenty-eight mud pools inserted by humans at this moment.

These nurturing mud pools emitted a foul smell that filled the entire underground cavern.

"Master, it has been counted, there are a total of two hundred and thirty-seven trapped human beings, and most of them have lost their consciousness. ”

Mo Ye knew very well in her heart that she could not sense any active spiritual power fluctuations belonging to humans, but negative spiritual energy filled the entire cave.

These people say they are alive and alive, and they are dead when they say they are dead.

Because of the stimulation of the pungent smell, Yan An's cough intensified, and he almost coughed out his lungs when he hunched over.

Finally straightened up, he looked at Mo Ye, not knowing what she was going to do next, "Where is this kind of man, this is a parasite, people are just planting vectors and nutrients, this kind of parasite is likely to be a new breed, it may appear here It may be a new experimental base arranged by the Zerg, or it may be a part of the Zerg invasion plan, who knows?"

Yan An coughed intermittently and asked, "Are these people still saved?"

He looked at the lifeless people in the pool of black mud, and this question was just a final one, but the answer was already obvious.

These people are dead, and they are only living shells that are used as carriers by parasites to survive and grow.

Mo Ye's gaze moved away from the black pool, and suddenly asked, "Did you find any clues related to the anonymous email?"

Xiao Qi shook his head, his tone was very annoyed, "I searched the cave up and down, there should be no people here, and I didn't find any suspicious clues." ”

So it's just a coincidence?

There is likely to be more than one such cave base on this planet.

Xiao Qi's next words also confirmed Mo Ye's guess.

"Some of the mechanical mosquitoes followed when the parasites retreated, and in addition to the parasites that had withdrawn, another group of people had been here after we left. ”

Mo Ye looked at the light screen that Xiao Qi exhaled, and a flying machine appeared in the image screen transmitted by the mechanical mosquito fly, and one of the people poked his head out of the hatch, not a dark-skinned parasite.

A male human, bald headed, the camera flashes by, and if you are not mistaken, there are wriggling bugs on the back of the opponent's neck.

It's like those nobles of the Weilan Empire, worms that wriggle on the surface of their skin.

Next, we can only wait for the feedback from the mechanical mosquitoes and flies, most of the area on this planet is wilderness, if the Zerg really have to hide carefully, there are many places to burrow in such a vast land.

Mo Ye and Yan An left from the underground cave, the huge body of the bricks had returned to a mini state, and they were lying on Mo Ye's shoulder half-dead and quietly making an ice stone.

The saint-level beast that was awakened by the second mutation atavism was actually hung by a piece of stinky powder, and the self-esteem of the holy beast of the brick uncle was hit hard, and no one wanted to deal with it.

When the troops of Boulder City arrived at the scene, the surface of the earth changed from a cracked earth to an icy continent, and a faint glow of fire faintly revealed under the thick ice.

Rumble!

With a loud bang, the flames broke through the ice, and a pillar of fire dragon rose from the ground, and the flames reached the sky for a long time, unable to be extinguished, and a huge mushroom cloud rose.

Everything in the underground base caverns was reduced to ashes.

At the same time, the commanders of the various armies in Boulder City received an early warning email, which contained a video recording of the parasite planting and related information.

"What is this?"

"Parasite, the parasite was found in the quarantine area, the parasite left with the quarantined person, there is an underground base not far from Boulder City, and we, we don't know anything about it. ”

The more the commander spoke, the louder he became, the others lowered their heads and did not dare to breathe, and every sentence was irrefutable with facts.

"I'm sure every one of you is a good soldier, but what happened right under our noses actually had to be told by the explorers, if they didn't happen to enter the city, how long would it take you to find out, or if we didn't have a chance to find out at all?"

The army of Boulder City was in a state of extreme shock and shock.

What they don't know at the moment is that the shock isn't over yet.

Mo Ye and Yan An left the underground cave base and followed the intelligence clues fed back by the mechanical mosquitoes and flies, and found the second underground base in one day.

In the same way, it is also full of people planted with parasites, and people are planted like seedlings in black mud ponds, and the parasites slowly grow and develop to replace the original people to occupy their bodies.

Mo Ye didn't find any living people who had time to be saved, and these victims were only empty shells occupied by parasites, and they belonged to themselves only with the resentment that had been scattered in the underground cavern for a long time, forming a powerful negative spiritual energy.

There is nothing else to do.

What I saw along the way was not a pleasant discovery, and there was no hope for saving these people.

"What are the requirements of these zergs when choosing parasites, why me, why are so many quarantined people parasitic or randomly selected in the quarantine area, what are the conditions?"

Yan An threw out a series of questions, and he had been thinking about it all the way, puzzled, and didn't understand how he had become the lucky one who had been chosen.

"Momo, I can't figure it out, what is the reason, what are their screening criteria, there were several people who were sent to the quarantine area with me at that time, not to mention the quarantiners who already existed in the quarantine area. ”

This is also what Mo Ye can't figure out.

If you recognize Yan An, I'm afraid it's really not so easy to get it back.

What is so special about Yan An and these chosen people that has been taken a fancy to, Mo Ye looked at Grand Master Yan on the side, and carefully looked up and down again and again, eager to use his spiritual power to penetrate and see clearly, but he still couldn't understand where this special thing was.

Maybe it's weak enough?

Mo Ye suddenly felt that he might be close to the truth.

Yan An recalled the situation dozens of times, making sure that every detail was not missed.

"Xiao Qi, is there a result of the genetic test comparison?"

"Because the sample is contaminated, it is impossible to determine that the data is completely accurate, but I have found a common denominator, these people are all weak, their mental strength level is in the middle and upper reaches, and young people between the ages of 25 and 50 may have more detailed screening requirements in the genetic sequence arrangement, but it cannot be confirmed. ”

Mo Ye vaguely felt that this might have something to do with the distress email, but he couldn't think of what kind of relationship it was.

"Judging from the current situation, I guess that the most likely identity of the sender of the anonymous email is a smuggler and freight forwarder, which can explain why the owner of the starship can't find out, the other party needs to do a lot of covert means in order to avoid the legal sanctions of the Star Alliance" Yan An took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes that were red from coughing, "If the smuggler is in danger in the war zone, his identity will definitely be hunted down by the Weilan Empire, and it is impossible for the Star Alliance to send someone to rescue them, what more suitable rescuer than us?"

That's right, the possibility of smuggling and freight forwarders is indeed very high, but what does this have to do with parasites, why don't you leave other clues after anonymity, at least give the coordinates clearly, so as not to let them run around like headless flies.

If he was really caught by the previous wave of parasites, Mo Ye doubted that the group of people who asked for help were still alive.

At night, the northern hemisphere, where Boulder City is located, is completely dark, and when you look up at the sky, you can see dense and flickering points of light, which may be distant stars, or they may be close to local armies and defense fleets ready to attack.

Occasionally, a meteor falls, and the light of the fire piercing the sky means the fall of a mecha or a war vehicle, and such scenes are repeated every day, from panic, anger to battle, despair to numbness, and becoming a part of life.

The war has completely changed the peaceful life of the indigenous people of the countries in the war-torn region.

In addition to the old, weak, sick and disabled, Boulder City can no longer find an ordinary citizen in the true sense, and all the people are soldiers, and they can take weapons to the battlefield at any time.

To find a person with a slightly weaker physique and a moderate level of mental power as a carrier of the parasite in such a place, it may not be as simple as I thought at the beginning, so the parasite will target the isolated area.

Five forty-five in the morning,

Ink Night swept away the three Zerg underground bases established around Boulder City, these parasites may have a special way of spreading information, and by the time Ink Night arrived, the last two underground cave bases had all been withdrawn.

All that remained were the parasite eggs and parasites that had not had time to be removed.

Mo Ye looked at the sticky black pool, and the parasites neatly arranged in it, the withdrawal of these parasites was very quick and decisive, and it was well organized, and there must be a senior commander of the Zerg in charge.

Yes, such a covert operation, which has probably been going on for quite some time, could not have succeeded without a commander relying on the Zerg warriors alone.

"I checked three in one night, and I think the number will be quite staggering if I continue to check. ”

"Boulder City is the largest defensive city in the border war zone of the Weilan Empire, and it controls seventy percent of the material transportation between the war zone and the Star Alliance. ”

The rest doesn't need to be said, Mo Ye is not stupid to know, once this channel is cut off, the rebels in the war zone can become a target without resistance in a very short time, waiting for the Weilan Imperial army to sweep.

As for the inhabitants of the war-torn area, the living conditions will only become more chaotic, and perhaps there is no need for the Imperial army to intervene at all, and the shortage of supplies can force the people here to die.

There is nothing that humans cannot do in order to survive as a resource.

The presence of these parasites can be for too many reasons, and all in all it will not be a good thing.

"There is a certain pattern in their distribution, and the straight-line distance from Boulder City is not much different, and the construction of these bases is traceable. ”

Compared to these ink nights, who care more about the sender of anonymous emails, she really can't control the overall situation of the Star Alliance.

Yan An shook his head helplessly, "Sean's wave of revenge has ignited the flames of war in the entire Star Alliance. ”

Mo Ye glanced sideways at Yan An, the head of the group, your appreciation was about to overflow, Mo Ye suddenly felt that Sean might have found the wrong direction to dig the foot of the wall in the first place, and he shouldn't have stared at her, and if he directly approached Yan An, the success rate might be greatly improved.

"Master, the composition analysis of the black mud pool is complete. ”

Mo Ye glanced at the ingredient list sent by Xiao Qi, he couldn't understand it at all, and raised his hand and waved in front of Yan An, "Keep it simple." ”

"This is a high-concentration nutrient solution mixed with some biological agents mixed with the body fluids of the Zerg, which is likely to stimulate the growth of the Zerg, and at the same time ensure the energy supply of the parasite, providing the right temperature and humidity for the growth of the parasite eggs. Yan An's eyes were black under the frame, and his voice was hoarse, "I think your previous guess was right, they need parasites that are not so robust and healthy and easy to invade, perhaps because this parasite itself is less aggressive." ”

It wasn't until after destroying three underground Zerg caves that Mo Ye figured out that there was more than one parasite in the body of these parasites.

The big difference between this parasite and other parasites is that it does not occupy a body but a group, those small white spots in the pupils, and the small white worms that swim in the blood, they multiply and grow in the body of the parasite in groups until they fill the whole body and completely control the brain, control every nerve, and completely merge.

Mo Ye suddenly realized at this time.

A host that is too strong will prolong the time for parasites to invade the body, and the mental power that is too delicate is not conducive to improving combat effectiveness after successful parasitism, so people who are weak due to inconsequential problems such as Yan An's cold have become a treasure that is valued at a glance.
