Chapter 592: Suspicious

Irma mechanically moved her legs and walked step by step behind Aros. Today she has seen too many incredible things, from stealth fighters, amoebas, and corpse beasts, to golden-armored warriors, pyroes, and earth-digging beetles. The experience was like acting in a fantasy movie rather than fact, but it was so real that she could sense her breathing, the weight of the C-14 Imperator assault rifle in her hand, and hear the voice of a veteran instructing her on how to manipulate the power armor over the communicator.

She has forgotten that she is afraid, that she is surprised, and that she chooses to accept a qiē that has happened or will happen, which can also be called numbness.

Tang Fang didn't explain to her, thinking that it would not be too late to rescue Philips and Benny Sr.

He first led a few people into a dilapidated building in the distance to take off the power armor, and then disguised himself as a fugitive nobleman's retinue and ran in the direction of the prison area, and took the opportunity to turn his attention to the Zerg base to check the new elements that had just been unlocked.

First, select a worker bee and press the advanced building hotkey to find that there is no "Polluter's Nest" for the Polluter, and the "Thunderbeast Cave" is also locked.

There are no new units to unlock on the Zerg Heroes' side, but Abbathhar's unlocking progress has reached 72%, and the increase is 4.

What would it be if the corpse beast wasn't unlocking a building or a hero?

He boxed one of the larvae, and suddenly noticed that there was an arrow icon to the right in the production menu bar, and subconsciously pressed the hotkey, and finally saw the two new units on the second page, the Variant and the Hungry.

Aberrations and the Hungry? If you think about it, there are 2 types of units that appeared in the Battle of Wormheart.

The distortion resembles a centaur in Western mythology, with 4 legs and a humanoid upper body - or more appropriately humanoid. They are genetically modified humans with a higher level of ghost energy, and of course, they have become aberrants compared to humans, and they have completely transformed into terrifying and hideous harvesters.

The distortion has 5 major components. It can also be said that characteristics.

One: Z-shaped legs and feet, the aberration has slender legs and feet that are two-thirds of the length of its height, but it generally maintains a folded posture, and once straightened, it can cross units like cockroaches and stinging snakes. Their legs are not deliberately modified to limit their mobility, as is the case with queens. The queen does not allow the queen to leave the core of the nest, and the aberrant moves quickly, and its ability to run exceeds that of most Zerg units.

Two: Flexible claws, after fusing with the Zerg gene, the fragile arms of humans have been strengthened and become harder, and the once fingers have become claws that can easily pierce hard steel.

Three: Mutant cysts, aberrations formed by genetic recombination of humans and Zerg with ghostly abilities, and they have a thick layer of wriggling cysts on their backs. Countless biomass, complex fungi, and fission enzymes are nurtured in it, which gives the aberrant a strong vitality.

Four: Transformation glands, hundreds of transformation glands grow in the digestive system of the aberrant, which secrete a regulatory hormone and invertase, so that the aberrant can digest food very quickly and convert food into the energy it needs. It can even digest human bones in just a few seconds.

Five: Steel skin, the distortion has a very hard shell, they resemble the chitin armor of the Zerg Queen Kelly Root. It has strong defense and can even bounce off some small gun bullets.

The cost of the distortion is 150 crystals and 100 gas. Occupancy population 2.

Next came the Hungry, in which battle the Don side had seen such a unit, which looked like a large ball of meat, with thick and short legs, and 3 huge mouths, distributed in the belly position. The head also has a structure that resembles the hideous mouthparts of a tunnel worm.

Through the introduction of the guò system to the hungry, it is known that it has 4 major components.

One: Multiple mouthparts, the belly of the hungry has 3 sets of huge mouthparts, which are directly connected to the stomach, which occupies almost half of the space of the entire body, and can swallow objects the size of a puppy or a Marine in one bite.

Two: Huge stomach cavity. The stomach cavity of the hungry is large enough to hold up to half a platoon of puppies or Marines, and can spit out at critical moments to attack the target. There is a special gland in the stomach cavity that releases an inhibitory hormone at the judgment of the hungry person to prevent the stomach cavity from secreting digestive juices and harming the swarm carried inside. Of course, the hungry can also swallow the Marines alive and absorb them as if they were food.

Three: Digging Claws, the hungry can vomit out the digestive juices of the stomach cavity with strong corrosive ability to soften the soil, and then use the lower limbs that can vibrate at supersonic speeds to quickly dig holes in the ground, and can move through the ground like cockroaches. They can even survive deep in the ground for a long time, absorbing organic matter and minerals from the soil to supply the body with all kinds of substances it needs.

Four: thorny organs, the worm mouthparts at the top of the hungry are actually its fourth mouth, but the hungry use it for ambush in most cases, the thorny head is a rectum-like structure that can be freely retracted, it can also be compared to a huge worm parasitic in the body of the hungry, when the hungry move in the superficial soil, you can sense the subtle vibration of the ground through the surface tentacles of the body to capture the location of the target, after that, the top worm part will suddenly stretch out from the ground like a pit worm, biting and devouring the target, Delivered to the stomach cavity.

The cost of the Hungry is 200 crystals, 125 gas, and occupies 2 people.

After skimming through the system's brief introduction to the aberrants and the hungry, Tang Fang fell into deep thought.

In the past, he used the aberration in the Battle of the Heart of the Swarm, which is a very fleshy unit with a good attack, but at that time, because of the version upgrade, the attack and blood-sucking ability of the aberration was canceled, but from the introduction of the interstellar system in his mind, it can be seen that the aberration produced by the system space should have a blood-sucking effect, but it is different from the blood-sucking in the game, and it should be similar to the "corpse-eating" skill of the undead ghoul in Warcraft, which digests the flesh tissue of the organism to nourish itself.

Strong vitality, good defense, and vampiric attributes, the only flaw should be weak attack power - to be precise, the attack method is relatively simple, but as a combat unit mainly responsible for attracting firepower, this is not a major flaw.

The Hungry is not cheap, and the cost of 125 gas allows it to chase the infected.

In fact, the Hungry is not a magic unit, and its battlefield positioning overlaps with that of the Tunnel Worm. Pit worms are an extension of the tunnel network, as long as the nutrients in the blanket are sufficient. It can be stretched to an infinite length, and the Zerg combat units are like riding a high-speed train inside, and will be spit out one by one when the tunnel worms rush out of the ground.

The Hungry, on the other hand, swallows a certain number of small Zerg units in advance, just as the infected swallow an infected human, storing them in the stomach cavity, which can be crawled through the surface or sneaked underground to reach the designated location and then emerge from the ground. Quickly spit out the Zerg units in the stomach cavity.

If the Tunnel Worm is an underground train, then the Hungry is a stealthy biological armored vehicle, and correspondingly, it has more attack capabilities than the Tunnel Worm, whether it is a triple mouthpiece or a top thorny viscera, it is a powerful weapon.

He sighed softly, not realizing that the life energy detected by the observer earlier came from the blood-colored parasite, not that Congreeve was still alive. Originally, he wanted to save him, but he didn't expect it to be self-defeating, but instead left the old duke's bones gone, but because of this, he unlocked two new Zerg combat units, the Variant and the Hungry.

Why did the old duke get infected with the hemochromatic parasite? Did he die because of it, or did he become infected afterwards? Is it artificial? Or was it an accident?

Again, he thought about the question, if it was an accident, where on earth did Congreeve get this parasite? He didn't think that the little blood-colored bug, with a genetic structure similar to the DNA of the epic creature, was naturally generated, and that it must have come from somewhere. It may even come from a certain epsilon ruins, and the old duke who has a hobby of collecting is likely to have a bad year. Died in an accident. If this is the case, Philips and Benny Sr. are also a pair of unlucky people, but they encountered such a disaster.

But if it's not an accident but man-made, where exactly do the parasites come from? And who wants to assassinate Congreve?

"Wait......" he suddenly thought of an anomaly. When the queen examined Congreve's body, the Hemo-Parasite was dormant and awakened by the threat of ghostly energy. Thus devouring Congreve and turning into a corpse beast. If it weren't for the fact that he discovered that the old duke had a life energy reaction in his body and let the queen worm test it, what would have happened in the next few days? Will it remain dormant forever? What would happen if the great nobles who had befriended Congreve and the seventh prince, who had come to mourn on behalf of His Majesty the King, arrived on Kandal Island and the parasites suddenly broke out?

Come to think of it. A layer of cold sweat spilled over his forehead. Those noble lords who are usually high up in the sky do not have the ability of him, but they are afraid that a massacre will break out in the palace, and many people's flesh and blood will turn into nutrients for the growth of corpse beasts.

Once those pathogenic bacteria drift across the ocean and reach the continent of "Etiya", the entire planet of human beings may be extinct. Not only that, but it will also cause the political earthquake in the United Kingdom of Turranks, and what will happen to the Kernar family, you can know it with your ass.

Is it a natural disaster or a man-made disaster?

He hoped it would be a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster. But whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, the existence of the blood-colored parasite is an extremely troublesome thing, and since Congreve can reach it, it means that others may also be able to contact it.

This parasitic germ, which can survive in the air and cold, and can be infected by human respiration, is more terrifying than any known infectious disease in human history, and once it erupts, it is a catastrophe that affects the entire planet.

He was hesitant, as an outsider, should this matter be taken care of?

Just thinking about it, several people have come to the western prison area of Dengle Palace, because there are not many important buildings in this part of the area, and there are not a large number of security forces like the east and north, seeing that the four people looked like wolves, two soldiers came out of the outer bunker facilities, surrounded them with guns in their hands, and asked who they were.

Tang Fang raised his hands and stammered that he was the retinue of Count Oval, and that he had been separated from the Count in the terrorist attack just now, and that he had come here because he was not familiar with the terrain of Dengle Palace.

The two soldiers looked at the group for a moment and reported the situation to the higher commander.

After a few breaths, there was a reply from above, asking two soldiers to escort several people through the underground passage to the evacuation facility set up in the east.

So, under the shouts of the two soldiers, a group of four people safely passed through the guò fire blockade line and entered the hinterland of the western district.

When passing through the complex where the prison district is located. The two soldiers, one in front and one in the back, let out a muffled snort at the same time, and fell to the ground in unison.

Aros and Roy moved them to a more secluded place and followed Tang Fang to the gate of the prison area.

It is said to be a prison area, but it is actually just a warehouse for storing miscellaneous goods, divided into small rooms, which are usually used to punish servants and soldiers who make mistakes. Philips, Benny Sr., and the old duke's drinking friends were held in those cells.

After Emma hacks the surveillance system of the complex where the prison is located, Ghost quickly knocks out the two guards at the door and opens the security door.

There were several other garrison soldiers in the hall, and when they saw that the security door opened automatically, but there was no one outside, they couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and at this moment, a burst of fire gushed out, and several garrison soldiers collapsed to the ground one after another.

Silver light flowed through the doorway. A ghost appeared from the invisible state, walked to the front of the control platform and clicked a few buttons, the security door leading to the cell in the hall opened, and Tang Fang and several people entered the corridor, all the way to the cell where Philips and Benny Sr. were held.

After walking more than 30 meters, he came to a stop outside the door of a cell numbered 013, and at the same time, the ghost in front of the control platform performed the unlocking operation.

When the security door is opened to both sides. When Philips and Benny Sr., who looked sad, saw the four people in the corridor, the wrinkles on their faces seemed to be ironed. His mouth was slightly open, and his eyes were round.

Old Benny squeezed Philips' thighs hard, and the leader of the merchant group finally turned the breath that was blocked in his throat into a painful breath and spat out of his mouth, and jumped out of bed.

Old Benny said with a blank face: "It wasn't a dream. ”

Philips was speechless and wanted to question him why he didn't test it on himself, but he thought about it. I don't think it's good to do this, but it's more reliable to be more stable in front of the juniors.

"Uncle, head of the regiment, are you okay?" Irma hurried into the room, taking Benny Sr. by the arm and looking ahead and back. For fear that the two of them would be abused in prison, where could an elderly man like them endure the torture of those torturers, and what would he do if he was left with a secret illness.

Old Benny shook his head: "Don't worry, I'm fine." After speaking, he sighed, and said: "Anyway, Philips and I are also people with some status and status, those soldiers will not treat us well, there is still respect that we should have, the only trouble is that the food is poor, you see, I am a little thin." ”

Irma snorted and laughed, since Uncle Benny was still in the mood to joke, it meant that it was not a big deal.

On the other hand, Philip walked up to Don, wondering how he came to the United Kingdom of Turanx so quickly, why he appeared on Kandal Island, and what happened to the outside world, whether Congreve was really dead as Surbacho said?

There are a lot of questions, not one or two sentences can be said, and the two banshee fighters in the north of Dengle Palace, who are responsible for attracting the attention of the military, also sent an urgent message, more and more air force units and precision reconnaissance equipment have been put into the battlefield, and their range of activities has been repeatedly compressed, and I am afraid that they will be exposed to the military's field of vision in the near future.

"Let's go out first, this is not a place for talking."

It was only then that Philips reacted, realized a problem, and stammered, "Is it ...... This is not Surbacho's order? ”

He mistakenly thought that it was Tang Fangtong Guò Henrietta who put pressure on Sulbacho, which saved the lives of the two people.

Irma stopped talking to old Benny, shook her head, and told them very solemnly and seriously that this matter had nothing to do with Henrietta, and it had nothing to do with Surbacho, and Tang Fang was ...... Hell Robbery!

"Robber...... Prison robbery? ”

Philips and Benny Sr. were going crazy, as successful businessmen who could talk to the old duke and had a shallow friendship, they had experienced this kind of thing at some point, and they never thought that one day they would be rescued by robbery on the territory of "Etia".

"Tang Fang, this is not good, maybe it will anger Sulbacho even more." Old Benny said: "We are all friends of the Duke of Congreve, and there is no motive to harm him, this should be Surbacho's mistake." ”

Philips was silent.

Tang Fang said: "Under the power, if you say that you are guilty, you will be guilty, and if you are not guilty, you will be guilty." ”

Philips patted Benny Sr.'s hand, shook his head, sighed heavily, and said, "Sulbacho needs a political victim." ”

Benny Sr. paused when he heard this, and Irma couldn't stop behind him and stepped on his ankle.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you?"

"No, nothing, just a little emotional."

He remembered a sentence, "once a son of heaven and a courtier", ordinary people are accustomed to emotion, and rarely can smell the cruelty inside.

"Tang Fang, have you ever thought that you would offend Sulbacho by doing this, in case you ......"

"There's no whatever, if Surbacho can't accept such a thing, then I'll fight until he accepts it."

Old Benny didn't speak anymore, he knew that the kid in front of him could do what he said.

Philips whispered two words: "Thank you." There is gratitude to Tang Fang in it, but it is more of helplessness and disdain for the unspoken rules of this society.

Several people walked out of the prison area, and Philips and Benny Sr., who saw the blue sky again, did not show happy expressions like those who had just walked out of the high wall, on the contrary, their expressions were a little stern, because the explosions from the northern area of Dengle Palace and the fires that rose from time to time made them realize that in order to save the lives of the two, Tang Fang and Sulbacho had gone to the opposite side, and such a confrontation was very likely to destroy the entire "Etiya", and even the entire dukedom.
