Chapter 1654: It's a Man and a Worm

In the boxy metal building, the transparent rooms separated by each other in the open hall are distributed in a honeycomb shape, and a transparent honeycomb cube occupies most of the space in the building, and the whole is in the shape of a diamond standing in the center, and there is no dead angle at 360 degrees to view.

Each cell room contained a living or dead Zerg captive.

These captives came from different battles, and there were so many of them that they couldn't be counted at a glance, not only those that could be seen on the surface, but also a large number of places where the view inside the three-dimensional hive was blocked.

"The defense of the prisoner concentration camp is two levels higher than that of other barracks buildings," this is Xiao Qi's exact words.

After receiving Xiao Hei's summons, Mo Ye immediately gave up the plan for a day trip to the station, and teleported to Xiao Hei's location.

Xiao Hei repeater repeated the conversations between Zuo En and several officers word for word.

What Mo Ye didn't expect was that Xiao Hei actually restored the positions of those people, constantly changing positions and retelling the lines expressionlessly.

Although he was doing a very serious thing, and the occasion was not suitable, His Excellency the Master really couldn't hold back this inexplicable sense of joy, and pursed his lower lip so that he didn't laugh.

"Bring out those captives infected with parasites. Following Zoon's order, the soldier in charge of managing the hive entered a series of commands on the operating instrument on the nearby wall.

The honeycomb rotated rapidly like a giant Rubik's cube, and each honeycomb turned three hundred and sixty degrees inside and out, tumbling and changing positions, and the outermost honeycomb displayed in front of everyone's eyes was very different from before.

At the same time, part of it extends forward and falls to the bottom, the transparent wall lid opens, and the captives who were placed in the cabin that resembled a transparent coffin are slid out.

The blue light on the side of the cabin flashed slightly, and when the staff attached it to it, rows of detection data were displayed, including genetic sequence analysis, body index testing and other biological information.

The soldier gestured to the cabins that had slid out of the first row of the first floor, "These are prisoners who have been infected with the parasite and are determined to be dead. ”

As for the other Zerg captives in the hive, they were all injected with sedatives, and they lay motionless in the hive without any movement.

Zoen glanced at the captive's corpse, and when he saw it with his own eyes, he couldn't believe that the creature in this state could be human, "100% sure of their human identity?"

The soldier wearing the white epaulette nodded, and replied, "100% sure that it is human, because the parasite in their body is not entered into the temple's database, and the morphology and other changes caused by this parasite to the human body are very similar to those of the strange species, so it is easy to be deceived during the initial inspection, resulting in a lot of errors in judgment."

The soldier continued, "However, only two of the captives who are still alive and judged to be Strange Species are still alive, and the genetic sequence has undergone earth-shaking changes, and there is a possibility that more than 80% of them are humans, but it cannot be ruled out that the Zerg has retained some human genes for the Strange Species, which has caused errors in the test results."

Balabala's barrage of cold jargon shook the faces of several officers, including Zoen.

By the way, His Excellency the mage who was quietly observing in the corner also said with a confused look and couldn't understand.

Zuo En stepped forward to take a closer look at the parasite-infected captives in the cabin, it was difficult to tell from the appearance alone that this corpse was an out-and-out human, whether it was the outline of the skull, or the ribcage, limbs, there were not many human features left in the entire body.

No matter how you look at it, it's more like a zerg, and these captives were not captured by the mistaken Strange Species, but by the Zerg.

It is very difficult to extract information from the Zerg warriors, most of the Zerg are single-celled creatures that contribute all their limited brain capacity to battle, and their brains are full of animal instincts except for obeying orders and commanding to tear apart enemies, and they are immune to torture, and there are more magical beings than the most tenacious warriors who will never reveal the slightest information.

Under such a premise, the human legion never captured the Zerg captives for the purpose of obtaining intelligence, most of the time for enslavement, or directly as food supplies, or as vivisection objects to make great contributions to the temple's familiarity with the Zerg.

This time, in order to recover the prisoners who were sold, the legion took a lot of effort.

"Who is the third centaur?" Zuo En looked at the corpse of the captive in front of him, his brain was running at high speed, there was actually another group of people on that planet at that time, and from the information obtained so far, neither the legion nor the Zerg side found anything abnormal, if it wasn't for the misidentification of the strange species, he didn't know that there was another group of people in that battle.

The troops involved in the battle did not raise any relevant doubts, and it would be terrible if someone from a third party really intervened without being noticed in the slightest, and Zoen's face became more and more gloomy.

"Could it be an exile from the Star Alliance?" The possibility proposed by the lieutenant colonel not only made Zoen ponder, but also stunned Mo Ye, who was standing in the dimensional space.

This lieutenant colonel is very powerful, how did he hit the target at once?

Zuo En didn't fully agree with the possibility that the lieutenant colonel had raised, why would someone with that strength really come to the Worm Domain, it was already very surprising that there was a Night Yama Explorer Group in the Worm Domain.

"There is no point in such pointless speculation that there has been no investigation yet. ”

Mo Ye and Xiao Hei sat in the corner, quietly watching the officers stand in front of the captive's corpse and discuss various possibilities.

Mo Ye's spiritual power fell on the corpses of the captives in the transparent honeycomb compartment, these captives infected with parasites could no longer see their human form, and even the remnants of the undead had dissipated after too long.

Ink Night could determine that one of the corpses was an ally of the Explorer's Guild, and that the captive corpse had a round object around its neck that was almost embedded with the skeleton and could be mistaken for part of the exoskeleton.

"Xiao Qi, did you see it, what is that?"

"Oh, master, that's the Explorer's badge. Xiao Qi said excitedly.

Mo Ye was a little puzzled, "Why didn't the Explorer Badge be found on those prisoners at Base 4012 before?"

Xiao Qi shook his head, "No, the material and production principle of the Explorer Badge are still highly classified in the Star Alliance, and the level of scientific civilization is extremely high, it has the functions of transformation and self-destruction, hiding, etc., at that time, the badge may have been dissolved because of the death of the wearer, just like a self-destruction system set up for the security of encrypted files." ”

Xiao Qi's voice is not so certain, the explorer badge is a small one, various functions and technologies are extremely exquisite, it is said that the council has proposed technology sharing to the guild many times and has been ruthlessly rejected, and Xiao Qi only understands the little bit that the explorer guild has announced to the public.

"This piece is actually stuck there, and sooner or later it will be discovered. ”

Although the Night Yama Explorers have been exposed, Mo Ye does not want the identities of the other allies to be exposed.

Just as the officers were arguing and about to take a closer look at the captive's body, the Zerg captives in the second layer of honeycomb suddenly woke up.

"Bang!"

A dull loud bang exploded in everyone's ears.

The Zerg captives in the transparent honeycomb broke through the cabin and slapped the transparent bulkhead frantically, one blow more powerful than the other.

Even the transparent honeycomb bulkhead showed a trace of spider web tearing.

"Ahh

A sound sounded immediately, and the originally violent Zerg captives were hit by the sudden light shooting out of the honeycomb, and at the same time, the mechanical arm popped out from the four sides of the honeycomb and tightly clamped the extremely powerful Zerg.

Shaq insects, with small heads and thick limbs, at first glance this one seems to have no head, the whole body is hard carapace, the forelimbs like lobster pincers are tightly clamped by the mechanical arm, and the vocal position on the back of the head is constantly roaring angrily.

"Why are there captives who suddenly go berserk?" Zuo En's tone did not rise but fell, and the soldiers in charge of managing the captives were very nervous and made a series of emergency measures, and after facing Zuo En's questioning, they could only apologize one after another.

The attention of all the officers shifted from the corpses of the captives in front of them to the rampaging Zerg captives.

The berserk Zerg captives were not just one, but several, slamming the honeycomb bulkhead violently as if they were about to rush out.

Sympathizing with the unlucky innocent soldiers, the reason why the Zerg suddenly went berserk was all due to Xiao Hei's work.

These tranquilizer-injected zergs are in a deep slumber, and it is usually impossible to wake them up at all.

The few that Xiao Hei chose were all Zerg captives who had been carefully screened by Xiao Qi, and the effect of the sedative was about to end, even if they were suddenly furious, it was not without reason.

After this interruption, Zoen's attention had shifted, "What about the two that are still alive?"

"The living captives have been awakened. ”

The number of captives recovered from various places is still alive, and those who were mistaken for the Strange Species are still alive except for the 4012 base, and there are only these two left.

"They are so badly infected by the parasite that they are almost in a complete state of the Zerg. ”

The two honeycombs were turned to the front, and the body from before was taken back.

The defense level of these two honeycombs was obviously tighter than before, and the honeycomb, which was originally dark, suddenly lit up, and two captives whose limbs were bound and suspended in the honeycomb appeared in front of everyone.

The sudden light caused the two captives to struggle and writhe, but the restraint of the mechanical arm and the energy ring, combined with the injected potion in their bodies, made their struggle seem very weak.

From the appearance, it is not difficult to see that the infection fusion index of the parasite is very high, the skin surface is covered with a large number of dark green insect scales, the shape of the limbs has also changed greatly, the fingers have become sharp exoskeletons, and the head has generated a large number of hairs covering the facial features of the head.

The torso is completely wrapped in an exoskeleton, secreting some viscous fluid from time to time, and only the head is still faintly visible in human form.

Being mistaken for a miracle is not wronged at all.

The biggest difference between these two and Andrew is that Andrew's parasite fusion is affected by drugs and the magic circle engraved by the ink night, which minimizes the effect of the parasite on Andrew's brain, stifling it and achieving the purpose of countermeasures.

But these two people are not so lucky, maybe because of their physical fitness, they can still struggle with the parasite at the beginning of the high level, but as time goes by, without the assistance of external forces, the phagocytosis and fusion of the parasite are almost irreversible.

"They have been completely infected by the parasite, and we have maintained a constant stimulus to keep them in a Zerg state, and in a peaceful state the two parasites can disguise themselves in human form. The staff played the previously recorded video footage to Zuo En and the others to watch.

"Completely worm-like?"

"According to the current situation, the parasite fusion degree of these two captives is at least 90% or more, and the possibility of awakening the human mind is very low. ”

Parasites are more terrifying to humans than any other kind of zerg, silently occupying human bodies, disguised as one of them, while the original person goes crazy or dies in desperate struggles, and eventually becomes the parasite's nutrients.

"Can memories be retrieved?"

"There is no corresponding equipment at the station. The staff shook his head, "Sir, the brain has been severely damaged by parasites, and even if you are fully equipped, you may not be able to extract the contents of your memory." ”

"Find a way to bring them to their senses. ”

These two are the last chance except for the yellow hair at base 4012, even if you can get a little clue.

Mo Ye's eyes narrowed slightly, a look of surprise crossed his eyes, he glanced at one of the parasite-infected captives and then looked at the badge hanging around his neck, the faint tremor trembled for a moment, and the explorer badge actually sent out a distress signal,.

If the original owner's mental power is lost, it is impossible for the Explorer Emblem to successfully send a distress signal, and the principle is unknown.

The captives in the honeycomb, whose eyes were originally closed, suddenly opened their eyes, their limbs shook violently a few times, and Mo Ye sensed the fluctuations of spiritual power belonging to humans.

It's a miracle, Mo Ye didn't expect to see a strong person who was infected by a parasite and could maintain himself like this in addition to Andrew.

What's even more powerful is that Andrew relied on the vaccine he originally injected in his body, and he happened to meet Mo Ye, but this person is purely relying on his own strength.

Being able to persist until now is not only physical fitness, but also very terrifying willpower, of course, there must be a premise for these, and this person's mental power level is extremely high.

Since the explorer is still conscious, it is necessary to find a way to rescue the person.

This was something that was not expected at the outset of the tracking of Joan Flender.

Two hours later,

Attempts to bring the two captives back to human consciousness through drugs have failed.

Zoon decided to leave here for the time being, "Notify me as soon as there is a result." ”

After Zoon left, the rest of the officers also left.

Only the prisoners were left in the camp and were responsible for the custody and experiments. (To be continued.) )
