Choose the man who is always wrong
"Are these bugs close relatives of ants?" Catherine, who had been in the cave for nearly an hour, complained.
Morningstar shook his head, indicating that he was also helpless. When they first entered the cave, it was still a naturally formed cave, but when they approached the bottom, it suddenly opened up, and although the visibility was not high, with the help of the night market glasses, Morning Star and Catherine saw a picture that made them smile bitterly. At the point of the natural cave is a huge hemispherical space, and close to the ground, there are ten new openings that have been dug in a circle. There are more or less traces of trampling outside these holes, which shows that this alien race does not rely on primitive instincts to fight, and there is an intelligent leader among them, although I don't know how intelligent it is, but the traces of disrupting judgment deliberately arranged outside these holes are enough to make Morningstar and Catherine vigilant.
After careful analysis to no avail, Morningstar and Catherine had no choice but to bet on their luck. However, neither of them was a lucky character, so they chose a hole at random, explored it with great care, and found themselves back to the starting point, and then tried again, only to find that they were back to the starting point again. And what's even infuriating is that they can't even tell the entrance. I wanted to contact the Queen's Eyes, but found that the signal could no longer be sent. This made Morningstar and Catherine realize the sense of crisis, and without the support from the Queen's Eyes, Morningstar and Catherine could only choose to use the most primitive method to make a mark.
Time passed slowly in the constant loss of the two of them, even if each hole was marked, such an investigation would take a lot of manpower and time to get the desired results, and Morningstar and Catherine were obviously unable to improve their efficiency. Returning to square one again and again, failing again and again, Morningstar and Catherine could only laugh bitterly at their bad luck. Returning to square one again, looking at the three holes left in front of him, Morningstar and Catherine looked at each other and laughed in unison. Catherine's slender white fingers lightly tapped Morning Star's forehead: "It's okay now, come twice again, how can it get results." Morningstar smirked and hugged Catherine, took a sip of incense, and said, "It doesn't take twice, this time there will be a result, I don't believe it, this time it's still wrong." Either find the worm nest or find the exit! Looking at the smirking Morning Star, Catherine put her arm around him and said, "Let's go, choose one!" ”
"Just the one in the middle!" Morning Star confidently stretched out his hand and said, "It's definitely right!" ”
As the old saying goes, no book is made without coincidence. Morning Star, who once again stood at the starting point, felt that his scalp was about to explode, his luck was really so bad? Gone wrong again. However, compared to the current situation, the mistake is completely negligible. Morningstar and Catherine are currently staring at the dozens of jumping insects that have returned from collecting energy crystals. The reason why the eyes are wide is because Morning Star and Catherine found that these jumping insects are a little cute, yes, a little cute, compared with the jumping insects in human records, these dozens of guys do not have sharp fangs, but chewing teeth like herbivores, which forms a huge contrast with the spikes and claws on the jumping insects. As for why these jumping insects did not launch an onslaught on humans as recorded in the record, but instead stared at themselves here, Morningstar and Catherine did not know. Since the other party did not show hostility, and Morning Star did not take the initiative to attack, after staring at each other for a few minutes, a slightly larger jumping worm suddenly put down the crystal on its back, crawled on the ground like a dog, and slowly approached him, and made a "woo" sound in his mouth, like a pet.
Seeing Catherine, who took the initiative to approach, she just wanted to take out her weapon to attack, but was stopped by Morning Star's attack, because Morning Star knew that once a creature like a jumping insect decided to attack, it would inevitably charge in groups, and this abnormal behavior made Morning Star feel that things seemed to have taken a turn for the better. Slowly took a few steps forward, and walked in front of the jumping insects that came out of the crowd. Seeing the morning star approaching, the jumping worm lowered his body in a state of surrender.
At this moment, Morning Star's heart was full of puzzlement, what was the situation? Could it be that the bad old man's prophecy is true? Is he really the guardian of the starry sky of what kind of Raushzi? Or do you have the aura of a legendary king? Squatting down, Morning Star carefully touched the head of the jumping worm, it hurt! Several protruding spikes on the exoskeleton on top of his head pierced Morningstar's hand. The jumping insect in front of him seemed to smell the slight bloody breath on Morning Star's hand, sniffed carefully, seemed to be sure of something, and approached Morning Star's leg and rubbed it. Morning Star was taken aback, and hurriedly took a step back, fortunately, there was no blood that was rubbed, the quality of the Republic's special operations clothing was really good, and it could really resist some physical damage. Looking at the jumping worm that was about to stick out of his tongue under his feet, Chenxing's face was black, and his foul mouth couldn't help but burst out again: "Is this really a worm?" How is it the same as when the stupid dog of the hairy bear wants to fry mushrooms to eat, this face is cheap! ”
Catherine, who was on the side, saw that the morning star was not hurt, and her hanging heart was half relaxed. Slowly approaching the morning star, but not wanting to crawl on the ground, the jumping worm suddenly bared its teeth at herself, although she wanted to be solemn, but this fierce expression combined with the herbivore's teeth, Catherine could not restrain herself, and burst out laughing. Seeing that Catherine, a human being, was not afraid of her fierce self, the jumping insect on the ground was very angry, and wanted to grin again, but was glared back by the morning star, and continued to lie on the ground, whining and moaning.
"What's going on? Don't you really have any tyranny? Catherine walked up behind Morningstar, poked her head out of the way, and asked Morningstar.
Hearing Catherine's words, Morningstar was almost fainted, his own woman said such ambiguous things to herself, can she not be angry? In other people, even if there is already a physical relationship, Morningstar will not be so sensitive, but for Catherine, a childhood sweetheart who grew up with him, Morningstar is really angry. He glared back at Catherine and said, "Nonsense, how can you use this word to describe me, it will be misunderstood!" As if realizing her mistake, Catherine playfully stuck her tongue out. I don't know what's going on, but is Daddy's diary really right? Or is this thing not an alien at all? Looking at the coquettish Catherine, Morning Star felt that his blood pressure was a little difficult to control, forcibly endured, and added.
Just as the two looked at each other, looking confused, the jumping insect crawling on the ground seemed to have received some instructions, gently tugged at Morningstar's trouser leg, and motioned for Morningstar to follow him.
Since there was no conflict, and he didn't know which of the remaining two holes was the exit, Morningstar decided to follow the jumping worm. After half an hour of walking along a somewhat sloping road, Morningstar was finally able to take off his night vision goggles. It is certain that this is a real alien nest, and although it is underground, it is still very large. The spores of green light lingering on the walls of the cave provide a source of light for what should have been a dark area. Finally seeing the main body of the lair, Morningstar felt his world crumble somewhat. None of the records known to mankind about the alien insect population mention the information of the alien insect building, and it has always been believed that these insects are just the morning star in the sky, and when they see the huge alien insect building in front of them, they can no longer believe their eyes. The structure similar to the pyramid is almost filled with this thirty-meter-tall underground cavern, and dozens of figures are busy in it, and the morning star can also recognize it, this kind of insect appeared in Daddy's diary, called the worker bee, which is the most basic and low-level unit of the alien insect population, but it is the basis for the reproduction of the population.
"Strange human, why did you come to our lair!" An abrupt voice interrupted Morningstar's shock. Following the source of the sound, he saw a strange creature slowly walking towards him. Four stout short legs, if you don't look carefully, it's really hard to distinguish, like the queen ant's huge belly across the four short legs, although there is an exoskeleton on the back, but the position close to the short legs are soft fleshy structures, the upper body is very similar to a cobra, but it looks a lot thicker, the two small short hands and the huge body seem incompatible, the conspicuous head adds to the overall disharmony of this creature, only a membrane protects the brain structure, like a human heart rhythmic beating. If Morningstar was just a human civilian, he would really scare this deformed alien half to death, but as a warrior of the Republic, his outstanding psychological quality quickly made him adjust his mentality.
"Will you translate human language?" Morningstar asked.
The misshapen creature seemed to react for a moment, its mugranate-filled mouth not moving, but a voice came out: "To be exact, I'm just simulating a human voice." But for me, you're a different story. The little short hand combed the granulation on the mouth, and continued to speak: "I feel a powerful alien insect gene in your body, although there are not many bits, but it is perfectly integrated with you, can you tell me the reason." ”
Morning Star seemed to understand something, the surrender shown by the jumping insect at the door to himself turned out to be suppressed at the genetic level, but in the face of this strange insect that was polite to him, Morning Star didn't want to expose his information too early, and asked: "I want to know first, what kind of creature are you, why you can communicate with me so smoothly, and ...... Why are those guys so weird? Asking rhetorically, Morningstar glanced at the strange jumping insects behind him.
"Huhu, as a young being, it would be a great disrespect not to answer my question first, but you are not part of my race, and I choose to forgive you. Please come with me, as the host, I should be polite enough to the guests. The strange insect let out a five-tone laugh, twisted his slightly clumsy body, and walked towards the huge building in the middle of the cavern.
Morning Star felt that his worldview had collapsed, and the so-called record about the insect that he had learned from his father's notes had now been completely overturned, what the hell is the situation of this civilized and polite insect worm! Looking at the bug's four little short legs that struggled to move, Morning Star couldn't help but complain. Taking Catherine's hand, Morningstar followed the big bug into the building
