The analysis of the "swarm host" sample provided by Emma lists 4 main functional components.

One, the incubator, the huge mushroom-like structure on the back of the host of the swarm, is a hatchery for the millions of parasitic larvae that live in its veins and are used to turn into living weapons. Through a simple laminar membrane system for material exchange, glands in the host's body inject hormones into the larvae to accelerate their growth, and finally quickly hatch these deadly, limited-survival locusts from the incubator vesicles to destroy the swarm's enemies.

Second, digging feet, the powerful muscles of the feet of the swarm host can make it vibrate at supersonic speed, which is consistent with the tooth principle of the pit worm, but despite this, the digging speed of the swarm host is not fast enough to adapt to the changing battlefield environment. To improve this, a set of fragile, but rapidly regenerating capillaries was added to the host. Now, when the swarm host digs, these capillaries rupture, softening the soil with acidic blood so that it can be buried in the ground in seconds.

Third, the skeletal organs are stable, and when the host of the swarm is ready to attack, a set of elastic skeleton structures composed of different thicknesses will fix the host. Like the mounts of the Human Siege Tank, this special skeleton system allows the swarm host to remain stable and balanced when spraying locusts or being attacked.

Fourth, hematobiosis is a multi-species of parasitic larvae that swim within the acidic blood vessels of the host of the swarm, feeding on damaged tissue, healing the damage and destroying any foreign material that invades the host's body. When the host is threatened or joins the fray, an ingenious chemical reaction tells the larvae to travel to the incubator, where they evolve into living weapons.

The swarm host is a master of defensive counterattacks, and the famous "spring ditch" tactic in the battle is a attrition tactic constructed with the swarm host as the core, supplemented by other combat units.

The small bugs it hatches are not only not resource-intensive. And the attack power is strong, the only drawback is that the duration is short, and it will die within a certain period of time after breaking away from the mother. However, it is possible to upgrade the "Durable Locust" in the Abyss of Infection through guò to increase the duration of the locust.

In the battle, the battle mode of the swarm host is generally defense-stalemate-attrition-with the fungus blanket advancement-suppression-general attack. Because the swarm host occupies a supply of 3 population, which is higher than an air combat weapon like the Corruptor, and it is a ground unit, from the overall point of view, it is a relatively chicken combat unit.

However, Tang Fang didn't think so, Abbather's unlocking process had already begun, and in the Battle of the Heart of the Swarm, as the genetic engineer of the Zerg, it was committed to concocting and cultivating more powerful Zerg units. The swarm host is one of the subjects of his research. In the later stages of the Battle of the Worm Heart, one of the evolutionary branches hatched by the swarm host is the "Flying Locust", and at that time, after having the ability to fight in the air, the status of the swarm host will naturally rise.

"Explosive mosquitoes, infected people, swarm hosts...... There are air units, there are ground units, and there are support units. This battle is a little tired, and the danger is a little more dangerous. But the harvest is also extremely rich. ”

"Flying locusts" come to mind. Inevitably, he thought of Abbathhar unlocking the progress, summoning a worm from the system space and ordering it to collect the genetic fragments of the jellyfish-like parasitic creature and inject it into the wormhole. After that, Tang Fang pressed the page turn button and found that Abasser's unlock value had changed to 11. This is an increase of 1 percentage from before.

"Is there any mistake, this big head with a thick neck and many appendages is like a thousand-armed Guanyin, and the taste of a great god stick is so tricky? Do I TM easy for me? It was so overwhelmed by the 'One-Eyed Tai Sui' that it took out all the things at the bottom of the box to kill it, and it was good. Unlock progress only increases by 1%? Tease me? ”

Grunting angrily, he was unwilling to hit the phagosome gene again: "A guy like Abbather should be very interested in the phagosome, right?" After all, there's nothing so perverted in the world of StarCraft. ”

Considering the particularity of the phagosome, Tang Fang consulted with the Empress Worm about the possible consequences of doing so before giving the order. For example, will it be parasitic by phagosomes? For example, after injecting the phagosome gene into the wormhole, will it have a negative impact on the Zerg base?

The reply of the worm is "no", for itself, the immune cells in the body, combined with mitokinase, will have a strong exclusive effect on the phagosome gene, making it impossible to parasitize.

As for the wormhole, as the hatching place of the insect colony, its viability, adaptability, and immunity are more powerful, and after the phagosome gene is injected, it will be broken up by a special decomposition enzyme to break up the gene chain, decompose the most basic nucleotides into simple compounds, and then record their arrangement and chemical formulas, and store them in the gene pool of the zài insect colony spirit network.

After receiving such a reply, Tang Fang nodded and gave the "collection" command to the insect queen.

After about a few breaths, after obtaining phagosomal tissue cells, the insect queen was retracted into the system space by Tang Fang, and the phagosomal tissue cells were injected into the decomposition pool of the wormhole according to the words.

Tang Fang pressed the hotbutton again, and the production menu on the right side of the wormhole changed, and Abbasser's unlock progress bar directly changed from 11% to 31%, the evil eye 4%, the giant snake 6%, and the phagosome gene increased by 20% all at once!

"Sure enough!" Tang Fang nodded with satisfaction, quite smug.

But at this moment, the sudden change suddenly froze his facial expression, and the fungus blanket that originally radiated the entire window quickly shrank inward, like the sea water at the ebb tide, and in the blink of an eye, it shrank to the edge of the outermost building of the Zerg base.

At the same time, the five sharp blades gathered at the top of the wormhole stretched outward, and the huge mouthparts spewed out a large reddish-brown organic vesicle similar to a fungus blanket, suspended above the Zerg base, wriggling regularly like a heart.

The organic vesicle resembles a Zerg building suspended in the middle of the air, with brownish-gray veins spreading over the vesicle epidermis, and below the vesicle, there is a thick pipe connected to the mouthparts at the top of the wormhole, and if you look closely, you can see the organic solution flowing inside.

"This ...... What's going on? Tang Fang was stunned, why did the fungus blanket shrink? What is this huge vesicle? Didn't the queen say that phagosome genes don't have a negative impact on the Zerg base?

He quickly picked out the insect that had sworn to him just now that nothing would happen, and asked sharply what was on the wormhole, and why did the fungus blanket shrink? How do you know that the queen of worms doesn't know three questions.

Tang Fang endured his anger and went to find Emma, but the adjutant was also confused about this, and he couldn't say why, but just told him to rest assured. The system is normal and there is no operational failure.

After hearing this, he had no idea for a while, and waited in fear for 3 or 5 minutes, but there were no other visions in the Zerg base, and the fungus blanket was slowly spread outward. 一qiē步上regular.

"Could this be the table of the wormhole that is about to upgrade to 3 main nests?" Tang Fang comforted himself like this, and the larvae pressed the hatching hotbutton of the worker bee, and after a few breaths, the worker bee broke out of its shell.

"The hatching unit is normal!"

Next, he selects the newly hatched worker bee, switches to the building menu, and presses the hotkey "Mutate into a spinal needle crawler". The worker bees drill into the fungus blanket, and when it is few, the fresh spinal needle reptile "comes out".

"The mutant building is normal!"

At last. He moved his cursor to the abyss of infection, and clicked on the three upgrade items of "Evolve Pathogen Gland", "Evolve Neuroparasite", and "Evolve Durable Locust" in turn.

The resource value decreased from 13,360,125,245,934 to 13,355,125,240,934. Once the upgrade progress is complete, command a larva to mutate into an infestation. Looking at the large insect with eight legs, walking staggeringly, and leaving a lot of secretions, the size of a siege tank appeared in front of him, Tang Fang chose to take a look. Neuroparasitism is shown as available.

"The upgrade plan is normal!"

"All functions of the Zerg base are normal...... It's weird, what exactly is the vesicle above the wormhole? You can't just have an extra one without any explanation. Strange objects that the cursor can't select. ”

"Tang Fang, Tang Fang...... You okay? At this time, Zhou Ai's voice came from the communicator.

"I'm fine." Tang Fang shook his head, since he couldn't figure it out, he simply gave up thinking, there were many things he couldn't understand about the interstellar 2 system. As long as it doesn't affect his use.

What exactly is the vesicle above the wormhole, we will always find out later, so let's think about the aftermath now.

"Come in, there should be no danger." Tang Fang jumped out of the deep pit in the center of the hangar a few times, looked up and saw that the external armor was full of holes. Thor, who looked like a mountain of scrap iron from a distance, sighed softly, put it into the system space, and handed it over to the newly produced SCV for repair.

Outside, Byron, Aros and others saw him jump out of the pit, and there was nothing serious in his body, so they all breathed a sigh of relief, walked out of the control room of the quarantine station, opened the security door, and entered the hangar.

To them, Tang Fang is like the trunk of a towering tree, and everyone else is attached to the green leaves and branches, if the trunk collapses, they are bound to be reduced to a plate of loose sand.

The veteran had repeatedly given him advice and told him not to be reckless. As a handsome, the Chinese army can sit in the town, and his own sons and daughters are brave in front. However, when fighting against human forces, Tang Fang can also remotely control and rely on high-tech troops to win, but when facing the Devouring Body, he has to go out in person.

Fortunately, with Thor's help this time, if the devouring body is bigger and stronger, I really don't know what the result will be?

When a few people walked to Tang Fang's side, he was recovering units damaged in battle, such as Zealots, Hunters, and Viking fighters. Byron walked over to a piece of inactive, shrunken and dry devouring flesh, and smashed it down with a punch, scattering into dust with a "whoosh".

Tang Lin saw a nurse MM holding a sealed box in her hand, and followed behind her eldest brother step by step, and couldn't help but change her face: "Brother...... You're hurt? ”

Tang Fang touched his right sideburn, which had already healed from the wound, leaving only a wisp of blood, and said with a smile: "I'm fine, what is sealed in the sealed box is a living sample of the phagosome." ”

"With such a powerful attack, it ...... It's not dead yet? The corners of Tang Lin's mouth twitched continuously.

They saw the scene of Thor's full firepower just now, and they saw it clearly through the closed-circuit surveillance system of the guò quarantine station-hangar, especially the stream of high-energy particles shot by the large and armed Thor's hammer particle accelerator cannon, and they were attacked by that kind of Cheng Dù, I am afraid that the battleship will be evaporated, but they didn't expect that "Tai Sui" would survive.

"Don't worry, even if it's not completely dead, it's already dying, like a candle in the wind." After Tang Fang put the last scrapped Goliath armed aircraft into the system space, he turned around and patted the sealed box in the hand of nurse MM, and explained with a smile.

"That's good." Thinking of the horror of the "one-eyed" Tai Sui, Tang Lin still has palpitations in his heart.

"Commander, the cargo ship carrying the Devourer has been destroyed, but. A transaction logging system that is protected by layers should be fine, and if you want to study the formation of 'phagosomes', you may want to obtain a number of chips that record flight logs. As the two were talking, Emma's prompt came to mind.

"Okay, I got it." Withdrawing Emma, Tang Fang turned around and approached the wreckage of the cargo ship. It took a quarter of an hour to analyze and compare the ship's structure, and finally excavated the scrapped "black box" from under a pile of rubble, took out the number of chips inside, and handed them over to the nurse MM for preservation.

More than an hour passed, and Ruskin and the others didn't know what the rush was like, so they thought for a while, and instructed Byron: "Contact Ruskin and tell him that the monster is dead." It's time to lift the blockade of Zone G. ”

"Okay." Byron said yes and walked quickly to the door.

At this time, Tang Fang suddenly found that something was wrong with Zhou Ai, and his little face was flushed, just like a big girl who drank 2 cups of bamboo leaf green and was overwhelmed by alcohol.

"Zhou Ai, what's wrong with you?"

"I ...... I'm fine. The girl straightened the messy hair on her temples and gently wiped away the sweat that overflowed the corners of her forehead: "Maybe I'm a little tired." ”

"Big brother......" Tang Lin walked up to him. State the fact that Zhou Ai was almost parasitized by follicles.

"Zhou Ai, let me see." Tang Fang walked to the girl's side with a gloomy face. Lifting her arm, she pressed the lock and pulled it down, and a shoulder armor opened in response.

Then, he grabbed the military uniform and pulled it hard, and with a "stab" sound, a white and silky jade lotus appeared in front of him.

He wasn't in the mood to appreciate Zhou Ai's delicacy and proportionality right now. There is no trace of fat on the arm, and there is no heart to make a joke and take advantage of the verbal advantage.

After carefully examining his arm, he tore off his uniform with a "whoosh". Expose most of the shoulder blades of the back.

There were no wounds, no ulcers, and the girl's skin was intact, fine and smooth, with a faint scent of shower gel.

"It's fine." Tang Fang let out a sigh of relief.

"How? You okay? Aros was also worried.

"It's fine."

"That's good."

Zhou Ai himself breathed a sigh of relief, covered the bare skin of his arms, and buckled his shoulder armor again: "I said it's okay, you still don't believe it." Because she had a small blushing face, she couldn't see expressions such as shyness and embarrassment.

Of course, according to her previous fierce style, Tang Fang didn't think she would be ashamed of this little thing.

"To be on the safe side, it's better to go back to the Morningstar first and let Valentine do a physical examination for you." After speaking, Tang Fang beckoned to Aros and Tang Lin: "Let's go, go back to the Morning Star first, and leave the task of cleaning up the battlefield to the people of 'Daystar Pharmaceutical'." ”

The three of them nodded, didn't say anything, and walked out of the hangar after him, just as Byron walked out of the quarantine area: "Ruskin has lifted the blockade of Area G, and someone will come here to open the isolation gate soon." ”

"Okay." Tang Fang nodded, turned his head and glanced at the control behind Byron, unconsciously thinking about it.

The ghost who survived the battle received the order and quickly walked into the control room, completely destroying the host of the hand.

At the beginning of the war, the Tang side only cut off the monitoring network of Area G from the outside world, considering the storage of Zhou Ai, Aros and others, and did not destroy the electronic equipment between the quarantine area control, at this time, the battle with the Devourer was over, and Ruskin's men were about to enter the hangar to clean up the battlefield, and he did not want to expose his secrets to outsiders.

A proper expression of one's own abilities will help the strategic layout, but there is no need to know the details, and only by maintaining a certain sense of mystery can the people of the "Daystar" pharmaceutical industry be in awe.

"Crunch...... Shortly after the ghost destroyed the number of hosts, the sound of the gate opening came from the other end ......of the quarantine area connecting passage.

Tang Fang glanced at Zhou Ai, who was still flushed, frowned slightly, and walked out quickly.

Although no wounds were found on Zhou Ai's body, her sanity and appearance were normal, but somehow, there was always a strange feeling in her heart, which was neither good nor bad, anyway, it was very different from usual.

When several people walked through the connecting passage together, the isolation gate had been raised, and the security gate was opened. Su was the first to rush into Area G, and when he saw that Byron was as good as before, he breathed a sigh of relief and put his mind at ease.

Later, Ruskin followed closely with several soldiers wearing "Lancer II" power armor, and after meeting, he saw the blood on Tang Fang's forehead, and asked with a worried face: "Are you okay?" ”

"A little injury, don't worry." Tang Fang responded with a smile.

"What about the big guy? It...... Is it really dead? Even though he knew that Byron could not have joked with him about such a thing, Ruskin was still suspicious. THE BIG GUY IN THE CENTER OF THE HANGAR, THE 160MM RAILGUN CAN'T KILL IT, AND A FEW PEOPLE IN TANG FANG CAN SOLVE IT?

Tang Fang didn't answer directly, and threw down a sentence: "I'm sorry for ruining one of your hangars." After speaking, the three of them, Zhou Ai, Ah Luo, and Tang Lin, walked to the exit.

Ruskin didn't get a satisfactory answer from him, and turned his head to look at Byron again, but saw the one-eyed dragon prop up the corner of his mouth, laughed at him a few times, and said "haha", "Don't look at me, I don't know anything." Then chased after Tang Fang and the three of them, leaving him and Stephen? Su and the two, you look at me, I look at you, and they are speechless. (To be continued......)
