The weather was very hot, Su Zhuo was lying on the roof of a seven-story factory, holding a Gauss assault rifle in his hand, and through the sight, he could see the white sand outside the factory, a grove of trees in the distance, and the endless plain behind the bushes.

This is a factory building in the suburbs, which has long been empty, and is surrounded by open fields, from which you can see several kilometers away without hindrance.

On a jujube tree in the courtyard below, the cicadas began to chirp, and as soon as his mind moved, the cooling system of the Swift Dragon Battle Armor was activated, and the humming sound was masked by the cicada's song, and the clothes on his back were already close to his skin, and he finally felt a burst of comfort.

The Zerg have intelligent ears and eyes, and when they turn on the cooling system, they are easy to spot. So now, he is very grateful to the cicada that chirped in time.

The sound of cicadas seemed to attract attention, and there was a commotion in the trees in the distance, and a white-striped praying mantis came out, its forefeet and mouth still dripping with blood. Just half an hour earlier, Su Zhuo had seen it drag a middle-aged woman into the jungle, but he couldn't stop it. Because at that time, there was still a white-veined mantis in the yard of the factory, and he couldn't deal with two at the same time.

He tightened his grip on the gun, straightened his posture slightly, and then slowly imprinted the crosshair on the triangular head of the white-veined mantis.

The white-veined mantis seemed to sense something, and looked up sharply, its dark red eyes looking this way. Almost at the same time as Su Zhuo opened fire, the white-veined mantis moved sideways. At this time, that strange feeling appeared, Su Zhuo raised his gun and fired another shot at somewhere near the head of the white-veined mantis.

With a sharp whistling sound, the first bullet hit the body of the white-veined mantis, and the powerful penetrating force directly blasted a large hole in the white-veined mantis's body, and green corrosive blood splashed. And the white-veined mantis also "sent" its triangular head to the second bullet.

"Poof!"

The head blooms from the middle.

The white-veined mantis moved a few more steps to the side before it shook and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Damn it!" Su Zhuo scolded secretly, hoping that the crystal nucleus would not be shattered. He put his helmet away, threw a crystal nucleus into his mouth, and carried GS41 down the stairs along the rope that had been prepared, starting to speed towards the place where the white-veined mantis had fallen.

The first-level zerg is too sought-after, so after killing it, every second is precious, otherwise the results of the battle may be stolen by others, and in the past few days, he has not rarely seen this kind of thing.

When he got to the white-striped mantis, it took him a short time to finally find the body not far from its body. And at this time, the sound of gunfire also attracted some people, and seeing the figure that appeared in the distance, Su Zhuo started his speed and left here.

This was the fifth first-level zerg he had hunted in the past four days, and in the past four days, he had hunted a total of two white-striped mantis and two giant spiders. But not always it was as smooth sailing as it is today, just like yesterday, when he was fighting a giant spider, he was suddenly intervened by a demonic flying worm, and he almost died.

The experience of encountering a more powerful Zerg also made him realize that his strength was seriously insufficient, so his demand for crystal nuclei was getting bigger and bigger, and constantly eating crystal nuclei also made Su Zhuo bolder, and the dose he ate gradually increased each time until it stabilized to one-third of a first-level crystal nucleus - at this time, it was not that he dared to eat, but he was reluctant to eat.

In constant contact with the Zerg, he became more and more dependent on his keen sense. But every time I collapsed after using my senses, only sleeping and taking the crystal nucleus could alleviate that weak state.

Therefore, the crystal nucleus is very important to a loner like him.

However, he was also a little strange to say, he found that sleep had a strong effect on relieving discomfort in his body, although it was far less fast than eating crystal nuclei, but it cost almost nothing. According to Li Cheng, it was sleep that could replenish his energy, but what made Su Zhuo smile bitterly was, where did this energy come from?

According to the latest report by front-line reporters, the fastest meteorite with a diameter of 138 kilometers is less than one-third of the astronomical units left from the Earth, and at present, the Space Force has set up a defensive line at a position of 30 million kilometers outside the Earth, and it is said that the military will use nuclear bombs again. - Major General Zhang, how sure is the military about this operation? ”

A major general of the Space Force who appeared on camera looked stereotypical and cold, saying: "We will do our best." ”

Such an answer is inevitably discouraging, but if there is a belief in victory, I am afraid that few people will believe it.

Su Zhuo had breakfast, the phone rang, and Li Cheng appeared on the screen and said, "I've arrived." Yesterday he consulted Li Cheng and asked him what the situation was that he could relieve that discomfort when he sleeped, but he didn't expect Li Cheng to hear him tell him the details, so he immediately decided to come to Hangzhou.

As soon as he entered the basement, Li Chengcheng said with a gloomy expression. "The first arks failed."

Su Zhuo didn't react for a while, "What? ”

"Outside the solar system, it has now been blocked by the Zerg, and all five ships have been invaded by the Zerg, and the picture in the spaceship that came back at the end has a terrifying blood type, which makes the most stable commander shocked. Then the Ark Project was terminated, and the Ark, which had already been built, immediately began to be transformed into warships. ”

Su Zhuo frowned, "So, we're trapped to death?" ”

"Now the word...... So to speak. ”

"How bad is the situation?"

"Yes."

Su Zhuo fell silent. Li Cheng continued: "Now that the heads of several major powers are gathering at the United Nations to discuss countermeasures, it is not just a question of whether everyone can survive, but how humanity will continue. ”

Su Zhuo groaned, "If you are trapped and die in the solar system, there will be an endless stream of zergs, but I am afraid of ...... It really won't last long. ”

Li Cheng smiled bitterly, "Now someone proposes to use the Mercury base as another rear of the human race, so that the human race has more strategic depth, and it can fight with the Zerg, but many people oppose it." ”

Su Zhuo felt that this proposal was not bad, but then he thought of something and nodded. "Fifty steps back and a hundred steps back, the result is the same, human beings have been operating on the earth for so many years and have no way to resist the Zerg, but they have to retreat to Mercury, which has nothing, I am afraid that it will accelerate the demise of mankind."

Li Cheng couldn't help but glance at Su Zhuo more, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to think so clearly." ”

Su Zhuo smiled, he himself felt that the events of the past month had made him grow a lot, at least he liked to think about things more now than before, so he thought about many things more clearly.

Li Cheng said, "Time is tight, I plan to give you a comprehensive physical examination, but you can't be here, come with me." ”

Su Zhuo was silent, this was the second time Li Cheng invited him, last time, Li Cheng was planning to leave on the ark, but this time, the situation was completely different. In such a country where there are no relatives, Li Cheng's invitation again made him very moved, in such a troubled world, it is difficult for a person to live.

Li Cheng also said: "There is no need to hesitate, Yuhang has a first-class scientific research base, and there are dozens of reformers, and the government attaches the highest importance to the scientific research base, and will not give up at any time." When you get there, you can join the Transformers formation. In troubled times, you should understand how difficult it is for a person to survive. ”

Su Zhuo didn't hesitate anymore and said, "Okay." ”

There was no need to move more than 90% of the things in the whole room, he only put the Xunlong armor into the box, followed Li Cheng out of the basement, the floor was paved, and the two of them got into the red hanging car.

The hovering car flew.

"Now the sky is still the world of mankind." Li Cheng set the car to autopilot, came to the back of the car and got himself a cup of coffee, "Drink something?" ”

"Sweet milk."

Li Cheng looked at the sky outside, "But soon this situation will change, the entire Spider Girl Meteorite is hollowed out, not so much that it is a meteorite, but that it is a cluster of insects with a diameter of four hundred kilometers, and there are hundreds of millions of large and small Zerg on it." And inside, there are several flying zergs that are very powerful, and when they come, the sky will no longer be ours. ”

"Don't think about it so much, no matter how bad it is, it's just a death." Su Zhuo said with a slight smile.

"You're optimistic." Li Cheng said.

The two chatted a little more, and then talked about some things about Su Zhuo, and when Li Cheng called up Su Zhuo's information, and then found out that his father turned out to be Su Zhonghua, the young doctor was very surprised.

"General Su Zhonghua is one of the most famous and powerful generals in the entire Space Force." Li Cheng's eyes when he looked at Su Zhuo now were very different. Su Zhuo shook his head bitterly, "What's the use of that, isn't it dead now." ”

Li Cheng patted Su Zhuo on the shoulder, "The casualty report says that he is missing, maybe he is still alive and is dealing with the Zerg." ”

Su Zhuo shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Thundered!

Both of them looked outside, and a cloud of sparks burst out of the sky, and the flames flew in all directions, and a flashing silver fighter roared past, and another zerg was killed. Su Zhuo suddenly thought of a piece of news on the Internet, during this time, in order to deal with the Zerg, the fighter was not without damage, and when encountering several flying Zerg such as the Demon Pattern Flying Worm, the fighter jet piloted by humans often seemed clumsy.

The suspended car entered a seemingly ordinary factory, the car parked itself in the parking space, and two people got out of the car. Su Zhuo looked at the surrounding environment, there were only a dozen suspended cars in the huge parking lot, and there was always a feeling of gloom.

"This is a secret base, originally a place that only a few officials of the state knew about, but now in this situation, it doesn't matter if the secret is not secret."

Su Zhuo knew that this secret referred to other countries, but at this time, in the face of such a life-and-death juncture for human beings, the intrigues of the original human beings now seemed to have some funny colors.

Li Cheng led him to a wall and pressed an instrument in his hand, and the wall blurred for a while, then disappeared and turned into a downward automatic elevator.

Following Li Cheng down, passing through several security doors, Su Zhuo's eyes gradually lit up.

The rooms are lit up with blue light, where the most advanced technology of mankind is vividly displayed, and people in overalls walk through rows of precision instruments. Seeing Li Cheng, these people all greeted and said hello, but no one asked what the origin of the young man who followed him was.

At the end of this scientific research base, an elevator opened, and the young woman who walked out of it saw Li Cheng and said, "Li Cheng, you came back just in time, I have already sorted out the proposal for biological weapons, you see if there are any problems, and I will report it when I get it right." As she spoke, she handed over a storage disk.

Li Cheng took the things and asked, "Is Dr. Ruan Xin here?" ”

"Still down there, he's working on the Demon Pattern Flying Worm right now. Yesterday, Zhang Xiong and the others spent a lot of effort to get it back, but he was seriously injured and still couldn't meet Dr. Ruan Xin's requirements. ”

"Well, I'll go down and have a look." Li Cheng said and walked into the elevator with Su Zhuo.

The elevator slowly descended, from -1 to the bottom, Li Cheng said, "There is actually a huge underground building below, with a total of 22 floors, with the most advanced scientific research equipment in the world." Originally, the research was all about military affairs, but now the main scientific research efforts are concentrated on the Transformers and Zerg. ”

"You go with me to see Dr. Ruan Xin first, he is an expert in transforming people, and he should be able to better answer your questions."

The number displayed on the elevator stopped at -18, and the two people walked out, Su Zhuo seemed to see something incredible, and his pace gradually slowed down.

More than 900 square meters, the three-story high space is lined with dense instruments, and there are screens on the walls on all four sides, displaying groups of data or videos. Even in the air, the instruments are moved from time to time. But in such a large space, there are not many people, only more than thirty, and there are forty or fifty robots scattered around.

The elevator exit was in mid-air, and Li Cheng walked out with Su Zhuo and walked down a ladder next to him. As they walked in the direction the elevator was heading, Su Zhuo noticed that a demonic flying insect was displayed on a huge screen on the opposite wall. The soft female voice said: "Weight 190kg, body temperature 27 degrees Celsius, instant explosive power 1800kg......"

Li Cheng came behind a middle-aged man, the middle-aged man was thin and tall, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, Su Zhuo looked from the side, and could see that the middle-aged man was looking at the screen indifferently, but a glimmer of light would pass in his eyes from time to time. Su Zhuo recognized this kind of light, and he had seen this kind of gaze when that bastard was thinking.

"The first time humans encountered the Demon Pattern Flying Insect was two and a half years ago, in the XXX position outside the solar system. That time resulted in the death of a spacecraft and two scientists. And it wasn't until the first large-scale battle between the Modifiers and the Zerg on the DI971 meteorite at the edge of the solar system two years ago that the military became truly familiar with the Demonic Flying Insects. This kind of zerg loves to eat human brains and internal organs, is sensitive to light, has a keen sense of hearing, and has a high intelligence. There is a precedent for commanding the Zerg and humans in battle......"

Seeing this, Su Zhuo couldn't help but be amazed, the power of individuals and groups is really incomparable, and the information reported by this soft female voice doesn't know how many people have been sacrificed to get it. And he alone only knows a small part of it so far.

"It's the right place to come here." He thought so.

After an experiment was done, Li Chengcai, who was standing behind Ruan Xin, walked up, "Dr. Ruan." ”

"It's Li Cheng. I heard that you've been thinking about using biological weapons against the Zerg recently, but I wonder how it's going? ”

"There are some ideas, but the above does not approve the Zerg, and can only catch the ordinary first-level Zerg experiments by themselves, and the progress effect is too small, so I am planning to report the detailed ideas to the above, and let them batch a batch of second-level or even third-level Zerg"

"Hehe, I'm optimistic about you, if this plan can really succeed, it can be worth hundreds of nuclear warheads."

Dr. Nguyen was wrong. When I came down to see Dr. Ruan today, I actually wanted to ask Dr. Ruan for help. ”

"Oh? What do you say? ”

"I've found a special transformer, but there are still some problems with his abilities, I wonder if Dr. Ruan can take the time to take a look?" As he spoke, he pulled Su Zhuo to his side.

Ruan Xin looked Su Zhuo up and down, "What kind of transformer are you?" ”

Su Zhuo said his ability, and Ruan Xin was suddenly surprised: "Perceiver? ”

"Perceptual?" Su Zhuo and Li Cheng said lightly at the same time.

Ruan Xin said, "This is a newly discovered kind of transformer, two appeared in Europe and the United States a few days ago, and one appeared in Beijing two days ago, this kind of person has an extremely strong sense of danger, and more importantly, when the state of 'perception' is activated, they have a very keen grasp of everything, and their sense of battle can be greatly improved." ”

Li Cheng nodded, "That's true, I was there before, and I saw with my own eyes that his ability was activated and then avoided a demonic flying insect. ”

"Oh? You don't look very old, and your ability is already so mature? Dr. Ruan Xin showed an interested look for the first time, and asked Li Cheng again, "Then I don't know what your purpose is to bring him to me?" ”

Li Cheng said that Su Zhuo had evaporated before, and then appeared inexplicably, as well as the current situation, especially emphasizing that he could recover his energy when he slept, Ruan Xin also felt a little complicated, he immediately called up the information, and found that none of the three existing perceivers had Su Zhuo being able to replenish his energy on his own.

He thought for a moment and said, "Well, I'll give him a comprehensive physical examination, but it's not right now, the Demon Pattern Flying Insect is by far the most difficult Zerg to deal with, and I must first try to find out its weaknesses." ”

Li Cheng said: "Okay, I'll take him to register first." ”

Dr. Ruan Xin nodded, "Remember, the Perceiver is a very important ability and has a very important role in the team, so don't waste this teenager's qualifications." ”

Li Cheng nodded and said with a smile, "Of course." ”

They returned to the elevator, the elevator went up, and stopped on the -5th floor, "This is the place where the transformers are registered, and during this time, because the usefulness of the crystal nucleus was discovered, the number of transformers has also increased, but at the same time, there are more people who have died after the transformation failure." ”

Compared with the -1st floor and the -18th floor, it is not so out of date. When they arrived at a hall, there were windows and corresponding instruments, and Su Zhuo saw someone walking out of the instrument, and then a staff member was writing and drawing next to it.

A woman in red overalls walked over and said, "Dr. Li, you rarely bring people here." ”

"Hehe, this is a new friend, help him register."

"Okay, please come with me." The woman led Su Zhuo to the side of a device on the left and said, "This is the instrument that tests the ability value." You can just stand there and do nothing when you go in. ”

Su Zhuo walked in.

The orange-yellow light lit up, and Su Zhuo felt goosebumps begin to rise on his skin, and a cold hit him, but soon, the cold turned into a scorching heat. Then streamers shone on his body, and the bright light made him can't help but close his eyes.

I don't know how long it took, but the hatch opened.

The woman in red said, "It's the first time I've seen someone tested for so long." ”

Li Cheng looked at Su Zhuo with some curiosity, and then asked the woman, "What is the result?" ”

The woman entered a string of data next to the instrument, and then the data refreshed screen by screen. Su Zhuo also came to the side, a little apprehensive in his heart.

The final data of "23C" is freezed.

The woman glanced at Su Zhuo in some amazement, and then at Li Cheng. Li Cheng's expression is also very strange now.

Su Zhuo had a bad premonition in his heart and asked, "23C...... What does it represent? ”

"The energy capacity of 50C is the standard for a first-class retrofitter." The woman said.

Li Cheng said on the side at this time: "You haven't completed the transformation for a month, and it's not strange that the energy capacity is low. He looked at the woman in red, "Then register him now." ”

"Okay."

After registering, they entered the elevator again, and Su Zhuo asked: "23C, does it mean that the ability is very weak?" ”

"Hmm...... The same cannot be said either. Li Cheng pondered for a moment, "However, most of the people who have successfully transformed have an energy capacity of more than 50C at the beginning, and the average transformation energy of those who participated in the K plan and succeeded in the transformation in the past is 110C, but that is also normal, because the people who can participate in the K plan are basically elites." ”

Su Zhuo smiled bitterly when he heard this, and Li Cheng patted him on the shoulder, "Don't blame me for speaking bluntly, troubled times, it's a world that relies on strength to speak, you have to work hard." ”

"I understand." Su Zhuo's expression was a little gloomy, but he also knew that the ability of the transformer was not impossible to improve, as long as there were enough crystal nuclei. He said to himself in his heart, "So work hard and come on." ”

The elevator stopped at the -3rd floor, and Li Cheng said: "-The 3rd and -4th floors are both residential areas. Wait until ......" They walked out as they spoke, and at this time, in the hall in front of them, a male reporter appeared on the big screen, and said with an extremely solemn expression: "Just now, the last fleet force of mankind was ambushed by the Zerg 30 million kilometers away from the earth, and 98 warships, including the main battleship Aurora, were all annihilated. ”

Su Zhuo paused, his expression complicated.

When the hope carried by the Dawn is also dashed, humanity will have no power to fight back against the Zerg in space.

At this moment, everyone in the world who heard the news stopped what was in their hands, looked at TV, looked at the sky, and their hearts were heavy.

Su Zhuo looked at the pictures projected on the big screen, and secretly said in his heart that this moment has finally come.

Volume 1: The Catastrophe of Heaven and Earth (End)
