Chapter 323: A New Enemy
Even if Zhou Huai'an's population had been completely wiped out, the Alliance and the Advance Ship had never thought that in the years they lived on the Sixth Planet in the future, they would never encounter humanoid adventitious insects again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although the probability of a special genetic mutation is very small, if this probability has a very large base, then it is not surprising that a "miracle" will happen again.
I thought that I had just found the discs kept by Charlie's mecha on the frozen planet, and for the first time I learned that there was an alliance of adventitious insects in this world that could transform into humans, I held a special meeting for this purpose.
Among the many topics discussed at that meeting, there was one question that became the focus of heated discussion: whether human remains that could not be recovered by the organic conversion furnace should no longer be sealed in a coffin as before, and then discarded into space at the risk of being used as a reference for devouring by adventitious insects.
It is common knowledge that adventitious insects are highly toxic to humans. In order to resolve such a poison, the coping measures that must be adopted are very harsh.
Between the two choices of "discarding human remains, thereby losing some organic matter" and "consuming a lot of energy and spending a lot of time to process the toxins inside the remains", human beings have always chosen the former.
And even though Charlie's disc is now alive and living in a spaceship, the alliance that must be budgeted in every way still maintains the original choice.
Relying on the research results jointly submitted by the Institute of Extraterrestrial Biology and the Alliance Institute of Chemistry, in the face of the toxins from adventitious insects, humans do have the ability to reduce them to dispersed atoms, thus making them completely intoxicated.
However, the huge energy consumption is the biggest weakness of this chemical reaction.
Therefore, every time a large number of martyrs who died in battle because of the adventitious insects were sent out of the door of the final journey by the funeral home staff, the alliance, which knew what the consequences might bring by doing so, was already mentally prepared to encounter humanoid adventitious insects because of these remains.
In the process of recuperating from his injuries, he ate and slept leisurely every day, waiting for his comrades-in-arms to find his safety as soon as possible, and he would never have thought that he would encounter another batch of humanoid adventitious insects in addition to Zhou Huai'an's population.
He was originally immersed in a peaceful sleep, but suddenly he was awakened from his dream by the electrical stimulation released by the intelligent number 2 in his body, and immediately learned the news of "Ah, there is an indefinite insect approaching here".
There is no need to take the mobile hard drive out of the body, and all the operations can be completed in the cavity vesicles of the alien cells, and the one that receives the electromagnetic wave signal sent by the adventitious insect is the first of the six communication devices to transmit the message it receives there in real time.
According to her original assumption, Ping An thought that in the process of waiting for her comrades to come to look for her, even if she encountered an adventitious worm, the situation was nothing more than two things.
When she first jumped over, she didn't notice any adventitious insects around her other than herself, and when she placed the communication devices in six different locations, she didn't feel the safety of the adventitious insects around her at all, confirming that at least at first, her living environment was not in any danger.
And if a special magnetic field from adventitious insects appears around her next, then she is most likely to encounter a situation - a certain adventitious insect population is pushing the nest and wandering in the universe.
Although the inorganic matter in the universe delineated by the six communication devices is very abundant, there is no objective condition for converting matter, which ensures that adventitious insects that have no way to synthesize converted matter like humans cannot stay here for a long time with a huge nest.
In the process of moving, the mobile population that constantly releases deterrent signals outward, warning her own kind not to approach at will, will soon pass through the territory of Ping'an, and then disappear without looking back, without causing her any impact and trouble.
If Ping An did not encounter a moving nest, but a hovering location had been chosen, and then an invisible sphere foraging area was planned around the nest, then she must have been included in this area, and naturally she could only meet adventitious insects that went out to forage in the form of a team.
Whether it is an entire population or a lone team, there is no conversion matter around them, and in the case of rest, the electrical energy response in the body is also very weak, as long as you disguise your appearance enough, then there is absolutely no possibility of being discovered by the enemy.
If you can't leave your area until your comrades are found, and if you don't leave, it's impossible not to be driven out of your territory by other populations, and if you don't want to waste your physical strength and energy on unnecessary battles, you will naturally make the choice of hiding and never coming out.
It's just a pity that the adventitious worm she encountered this time is exactly the humanoid type she can't ignore at all, so even if she doesn't want to, she has to do something.
"Hey, Daz, do you really think that Zhou Huai'an is the best choice for us to take refuge in our dozen companions?"
The electromagnetic waves received by the communication device were forwarded to Ping An's mobile hard drive, and with the help of Smart 2, Ping An was able to silently eavesdrop on those who approached him far away from the conversation site.
"Taya, we've all been wandering in the universe for so long, what stupid things are you talking about now? Our father and mother, the first genetic mutant in the population, bred a dozen of us, its first offspring, and then died because of a battle with other populations. ”
"In the days of living in the population, we always feel the gap between ourselves and other people of our kind, which is our innate superiority, and it is the most fundamental reason why we are determined to leave those who are clearly inferior to our own kind and come out for independence."
"During the wandering years shortly after leaving the nest, we stumbled upon dozens of coffins left behind by a human spacecraft. By opening the sealed coffin and dragging out the human corpses that had obviously died from the wounds of the battle, we were able to inadvertently open the door to a new world by devouring and absorbing us. ”
