Chapter 279: Victory and Afterhand
The swarm quickly disappeared into the pipes, just as quickly as it came.
Aliens in a pool of blood, struggling to get up.
They took off their masks and gasped for air.
This makes their appearance exposed.
The face is full of blue wrinkled skin, and the nose is very shallow, almost none.
The mouth is like the mouthparts of some kind of insect, and it looks a bit like a visitor from the underworld.
Ling Ping'an watched, thought about it, and took a screenshot of their appearance for preservation.
Maybe in the future!
But, at the moment of his screenshot.
Seven or eight octopus aliens have jumped up from one corner to another.
They appeared out of nowhere and caught the aliens off guard.
Two obviously inexperienced aliens, caught off guard, were alienated by two octopuses, and they were hugged in the face.
They struggled desperately, but to no avail.
The remaining alien immediately raised his knife and cut off the tail that pierced his chest.
He had just crouched down and was about to pick up the weapon on the ground.
Suddenly, he sensed something, and when he turned around, three drones were coming at him from three different directions.
Three sharp and powerful tongues pierced his body.
Then, an octopus alien landed on his face.
He struggled in pain.
His struggle also made Ling Ping'an finally see clearly the parasitic way of those octopus aliens.
It turns out that these things are just things wrapped in parasitic embryos.
When it pounces on a creature in the face, it will use its eight legs and tail to firmly hold the victim in place, and then forcibly pry open the victim's mouth and inject the embryo in its body into the victim's body through a thin tube.
These things are growing fast!
In just a few seconds, the chests of those three aliens all exploded!
Three little things, drilled out of the bodies of these three aliens.
They seem to be distinctly different from their parasitic counterparts from human bodies.
The most obvious is the mouth, which still retains the characteristics of the alien's mouth.
Ling Ping'an looked at it and was stunned.
"This thing actually changes depending on the host...... "Interesting! ”
…………………………
The Mother Queen's Mossy Ground.
The bulging follicle explodes again.
A staggering little bug appeared in the mossy field.
It's very peculiar in its length.
The appearance resembles a small xenomorph that has just hatched, but the body structure is the same as that of insects, and most of the structures are ding exoskeletons.
Only simple nervous system and muscles.
A long, sharp tail appeared behind him.
But it only staggered a few steps before it fell suddenly.
The thirty-fourth experiment failed!
But the queen didn't care.
Its body shook, and new follicles bulged again.
Failure, it's a normal thing for it.
Every time you produce a new unit, you will experience countless failures!
The memories left by each generation of mothers in their genes have countless failures.
It is never easy to fuse the genes of other species.
So, it's not in a hurry.
Its guards, constantly flying back, brought back the tissues that the workers had captured.
Egg-holding worms, clumps of tissue and armor stained with corrosive blood.
These things were absorbed by its mighty mossy ground.
In the digestive juices, it is broken down into deoxyribonucleic acid.
In the spiral gene, everything recorded is being re-examined.
As these things grew, so did the Empress's knowledge of her enemies.
It began to work rapidly.
One by one, new follicles begin to bulge.
These are experiments!
The Mother Queen is experimenting on a large scale!
Because its psionic energy can feel its own enemies.
The enemy Mother, who also had a beehive-like structure, was about to get out of trouble.
And it's changing tactics.
Now, whoever progresses faster will win this competition.
The Mother Queen's psionic network is connected to every follicle that is hatching.
All the life that is being conceived in these follicles begins to reveal itself directly to it.
Thereupon......
The psionic energy flashed, and most of these follicles were directly shattered.
They are failures, so they are ruthlessly eliminated!
For the Mother Empress, it now has the upper hand.
Because it allows for infinite trial and error, the cost is close to zero.
At the beginning of its creation, the owner had already laid the foundation for what it is today.
This mossy field made of its secretions and psionic powers.
It can be a trial and error effort that can make it nearly zero-consuming.
Therefore, the cost of trial and error can be recovered.
And its opponent, as long as it is wrong once, it will be doomed!
………………………………
The deepest part of the pyramid.
The queens, who were hanging and bound by iron cables, were constantly screaming under the stimulation of the electric current.
This queen, who has lived for hundreds of years, already has wisdom.
It screamed, calling for its own heirs.
One by one, the drones began to converge on it from one pipe to another.
And in its belly, the nest that lays eggs.
New, smaller eggs, are developing.
It has sensed the presence of its enemies.
That's a terrible opponent!
The same predators as it.
But......
That opponent is not as good as it!
Because......
It can't move......
So, just approach it and inject your own eggs into its body.
So......
The queen knew that she was about to welcome a new offspring, one that would change their species!
As a result, it is rapidly consuming the energy that has been stored for hundreds of years.
It's all or nothing!
One drone after another, jumping from one pipe after another, jumped onto his mother.
Then, these drones screamed.
They curl their tails and stab themselves hard.
Roar!
They screamed.
Corrosive blood, drenched in his mother's body.
Those chains and shackles are quickly corroded in the blood!
The queen, at the expense of her own heirs, got out of trouble!
It jumped onto the platform.
Three large, stout heirs appeared in front of it.
Surrounded by these three heirs, the queen burrowed deeper into the ground.
Other drones and egg-holding insects began to rush along the pipes to the insects that had been killed again.
They want to buy time for the Queen.
In the pipes of the entire pyramid, there was a sudden battle.
The drones are stronger and more agile.
But there are a lot of worker ants, and once they are hit, they immediately explode themselves, and there is no ambiguity!
The pheromone network engulfed by psionic energy allows the Mother Emperor to command and command at the same time.
And the will of the mother queen is cold.
A thousand worker ants for an enemy are also earned.
Because the enemy is about to lose supplies.
That Mother Empress's energy is limited!
But the Empress was still too immature and lacked experience in warfare.
Its opponents, on the other hand, have been imprisoned for hundreds of years, but every hundred years, it has a war experience.
So, in the depths of the pyramids.
It begins to build its nest.
One by one, eggs begin to be laid.
These eggs are small, only the size of a fist.
These are specially prepared for the opponent.
At the same time, it feels its opponents.
The worker ants......
It screamed and gave the order.
All drones and egg-hugging insects resist more fiercely.
They don't budge an inch in the pipe.
Sharp teeth, tail, sturdy armor, nimble and agile body structure.
Let them have a certain advantage.
Even their enemies are far outnumbered by them.
As a result, all the pipelines quickly turned into Shura fields.
The flesh and blood of worker ants and drones are mixed together.
It is also filled with corrosive blood, corroding the pipes and smoking.
Eventually, the structure of the pyramid could no longer withstand it, and pieces of rubble began to fall.
One drone after another, along with their enemies, fell down.
However, this has freed up the hands and feet of the worker ants.
They are no longer limited by space.
A swarm of bees pounced!
All the drones and egg-holding insects were besieged by more than 100 times the enemy in an instant.
Their bodies are crawling with worker ants.
Flying insects shoot poisonous needles with neurotoxins.
These poisonous needles, stabbed on the surface of the drones, immediately released violent neurotoxins.
The battle is over.
The worker ants began to clean up the battlefield.
Flesh, tissue, bones......
There are also their own people, and they can't let go at all.
All to be recycled!
The will of the Mother Emperor, screaming in the psionic network.
And in front of it, on the mossy ground, the bulging follicles finally exploded!
A new flying insect with wings has appeared.
They spread their wings and are at least thirty centimeters long.
The body of each one is curved.
Inside that curved body, there is a billet embedded in it!
This embryo is all that these new flying bugs have.
The host loved the parasitic ......
Then carry out the parasitism to the end!
The flying insects immediately flew forward and threw themselves into the battlefield.
But at this time, the walls of the pyramid suddenly shattered.
Stones fell.
The gigantic queen, with its guards, arched out!
On the queen's huge body, there are one after another small octopus aliens.
This is its final blow.
It's also the strongest blow!
You die, or I live!
The queen opened her mouth and screamed!
Roar!
It began to vent its emotions!
To climb out, and to collapse the pyramid.
It sacrificed two of its last three offspring and sent them into a frenzy to crash into one of the most important structures beneath the pyramid, the Stress Wall.
Let them be knocked to death!
The corrosive blood and the previous impact caused a stone pillar supporting the pyramid to collapse with a bang.
The sturdy structure of the entire pyramid immediately began to crumble.
This allowed it to burst out.
It also allows it to face its own enemies head-on!
It's already seen!
On a mossy field, a huge mass of flesh stood.
A ball of meat like a tumor!
Roar!
It screamed, and with the help of the last of its children, it strode forward at high speed.
The octopus aliens on it are also ready!
Always ready, jump at that enemy.
Send the embryo you carry in your body to it at any cost.
For this reason, the queen deliberately reduced their size in exchange for more numbers.
For this reason, the queen has even become a victim herself.
As long as it is successful, as long as one embryo goes in......
So......
The whole species can be given a new lease of life!
This is not wisdom!
It's based on the instinct of survival!
They are the instincts of the species, born of the instincts of reproduction and evolution!
………………
The Mother Emperor sensed the appearance of her enemy at the first time.
Before they could emerge, it had already passed through pheromones, feeling the smell in the air and the subtle vibrations of the ground.
So, it did two things at once.
The first one is to order all the flying insects to return to help at any cost, and order the Mother Emperor's Guard to meet them immediately.
The second thing is to stop the experiment immediately and hatch the worker ants with all our might!
Hundreds of follicles, bulging at the same time.
The worker ant is the unit it has the shortest manufacturing speed.
Stimulated by psionic energy, these follicles only bulge for three seconds before they all hatch.
Hundreds of worker ants, immediately urged by pheromones, rushed towards their enemies.
They have only one mission - to delay their enemies and not give them a chance to get close to the Mother Empress.
Around the mother, several huge follicles began to bulge.
It's producing brand new large units to fight the enemy.
The fiercest, most ruthless, and most formidable foe the swarm has ever encountered.
As a result, countless flying insects immediately turned back.
They swooped down from the air at all costs, rushing towards the enemy at high speed.
Poisonous needles and acid are constantly sprayed out.
It's a pity that the queen is too big.
It's also too strong.
The surface of this terrible monster was smooth and hard, and most of the poisonous needles and acid could not break through its defenses.
Occasionally, it is difficult to cause any damage to it, but it only stimulates it.
Fortunately, at this time, the Mother Emperor's Guard began to appear.
The abdomen of these large flying insects, one by one, began to drop.
These biochemical organs, as soon as they leave the mother's body, immediately accelerate.
The mixed psionic energy immediately reacts with the venom in it, and then produces an explosion.
A cloud of poisonous mist exploded!
On the queen's body and in front of it, it caused clouds of poisonous and corrosive mist.
At the same time, hundreds of worker ants rushed to the site.
They turn their belly straight into the enemy.
Clouds of strong acid burst open, drenching on the skin of their enemies.
But the queen's charging speed is not limited.
It ignores all pain and hurt!
Ignoring his flesh and blood cracked legs that were corroded by strong acid, he ignored the corrosive poisonous mist that was extremely strong under the stimulation.
It has only one thought - to rush in front of the enemy.
Rush over and win!
All the energy in its body was mobilized.
And the strong alien drone beside it uses its body as a shield to block and resist attacks again and again.
Eventually, this powerful drone finally couldn't hold it anymore.
With a snap, he collapsed to the ground.
At this moment, the queen is less than a hundred meters away from the mother queen.
It takes three seconds at most to touch the mossy field.
Moreover, it was at this time that the Mother Emperor gave a calm and incomparably calm order in the pheromone network.
All the flying insects, worker ants, and guard bugs all gathered in a clump.
Then collectively rushed to the queen.
Now, the colony has only one purpose, to slow down this terrible monster.
A second is also good.
Hundreds of flying insects, gathered in a clump, and they directly mounted on the queen who was charging at high speed.
Clusters of strong acid burst open, and when the head was dripped.
And the worker ants, gathered into a sphere, rolled wildly, and were attached to one of the queen's legs.
More than ten catties of strong acid liquid were directly spilled out, directly corroding one of the queen's legs and exposing the bones.
Its body is also corroded by the strong acid and poisonous fog of flying insects and guards.
It's finally slowing down.
But the distance between it and the mother emperor is only a few meters now.
With the last of its strength, it rushed up the mossy field.
The octopus aliens lying on its stomach all flew up.
Their soft bellies were aimed at the immobile mass of flesh, and their eight legs and tails did everything they could.
As long as you can get your hands on that lump of meat!
It's all over.
A new queen will grow out of its flesh!
The race will be given a new lease of life!
But......
At this moment, the mother queen's body trembled.
The dimensional stone energy stored in its body immediately burst out.
Stimulated by this powerful energy, those huge follicles immediately burst open!
Several huge beetles, jumping out of it.
They were the size of calves, and their bodies were covered in barbed and armor.
They stand upright, and in front of the Mother Emperor, they form a sturdy wall!
What's more, in their abdomen, one by one in the spray holes, strong acids under high pressure are sprayed out!
The octopus aliens, in the air, were directly hit by these strong acids.
The Queen's last effort failed!
Because, on the moss ground of the mother emperor, among those bulging follicles, one after another brand new flying insects spread their wings and broke their shells.
These flying insects with bent bodies quickly flew towards the Mother Emperor.
Then one by one, the parasitic embryo embedded in his body was ejaculated.
The queen looked up, only to see a clump of sharp objects like vertebrae, piercing her defenseless body, which had been corroded.
And the heirs on which it had high hopes are falling from the sky one by one.
Even if the lucky ones dodge the strong acid net, all they hit is a sturdy wall of creatures.
The Mother Queen is behind the wall and is very well protected!
It loses!
Go down in flames!
The body of the Mother Empress trembled, and in the psionic pheromone network, the emotions of victory were rendered in each individual.
It's going to enjoy the loot now.
Everything about this enemy will be digested by it.
Its way of organizing, its social structure, its ecology, its everything......
Everything that is written in the genes will be digested and become the means of battle for the future mother queen!
……………………………………
Ling Ping'an looked at the light screen, the battle that had ended.
Satisfied, he clicked the leave button.
This material is enough for him to write for several days.
Well, I have to go back and think about the plot well, adapt and adapt, and the game blossoms!
Opening his eyes, he raised his head and looked at the time, it was actually past eight o'clock.
He moved his body and turned on the lights in the bookstore.
Meow!
Kitten Best, stands up from the counter.
It jumped down and sprinkled at Lingping's feet.
"Little ......," Ling Ping stroked its head.
……………………………………………………
Antarctica, ice cover underground.
It's all over.
The pyramid collapsed.
Everything was buried in rubble and rubble.
Beneath the rubble and rubble, the carcasses of worker ants and flying insects are mixed with drones and egg-holding insects.
Deep underground.
Several cyan round objects, motionless, as if petrified.
This is the queen's backhand!
Success, of course, is gratifying!
Failure, but also left the seeds!
These dormant heirs, waiting, waiting.
Over the ice sheet, a satellite scanned by.
It found everything here.
New expeditions, start forming!
Driven by curiosity, humans will soon be back in the area!
