Chapter 12: The Origin of the Demon Eye and the Kraworms
"I don't know the origin of the Demon Eye, I have never seen or heard of his race before, his profession is a raider, and he is also a mercenary, the two are sometimes the same thing, both are people who work for money, but because of this, we can live, before you said that you fought with the Demon Eye, which shows that you are strong enough, a warrior, and as a warrior, there is always value.
"Let's talk about those Kraworm people, strictly speaking, they are not intelligent races, but a kind of bugs that have been modified and improved in intelligence, the Kraworms originated from a failed venture capital, there was once a group of Walker biologists, they wanted to create a series of Zerg troops to fight for them, theoretically these Zerg are divided into multiple functions, there are brain worms with super intelligence and can serve as commanders, there are a large number of soldiers with super reproduction ability, and special worms with various powerful abilities.
They pulled a large amount of investment from the commercial division of the Union, and then collected a variety of different species from various different planets and fused them together, thinking that this would achieve the results they wanted, but biochemical engineering and genetic technology are obviously not as simple as 1+1=2, and the meaningless genetic combination creates something that is not as strong as imagined, or more precisely, a complete failure, a group of useless monsters.
Eventually, one of the Walker scientists ran away with the rest of the money after realizing that they couldn't complete the mission given to them by the Alliance, and destroyed the security system of the experimental base before leaving, and the twisted created monsters lost control, killing all the experimenters, and fighting each other and devouring each other, and the whole scene was a mess.
The lab was later shut down by the Alliance, and in order to recoup some of the losses, the Alliance sent scientists to reorganize the research of the Walkers, and finally managed to produce a little result - that is, the Kraworms.
The Kraworms get their name from the 'Carat' and 'Carat' sounds they make when they eat, this kind of bug is neither strong nor smart enough, and its reproductive ability is also unsatisfactory because of the disorder of the genetic sequence, the only thing that is quite reliable is its intelligence and their master-aware characteristics, as well as their organization, which makes them a decent kind of cannon fodder troops.
The Silver Alliance apportioned a large number of Kraworm purchases to various civilizations within it, but most of them didn't like to use them very much after buying them, because of their limited intelligence, they were useless except to be cannon fodder, and they couldn't be used at all in tough battles.
Some of the eggs were sealed, and some were resold to the interstellar black market by some corrupt logistics staff.
This thing is very popular on the black market, and some mercenaries like to buy it to hatch it as cannon fodder to fill the population, because the nature of the Kraworm's loyalty to their master is very much in line with the needs of some mercenaries for the loyalty of their subordinates, and some business groups will buy some worm eggs as security personnel, after all, the Kraworm can't be bought, and I guess Demon Eye should be one of those buyers. ”
I couldn't help but be speechless for a while, I thought I had killed an alien, it turned out to be just some kind of modified bug, but well, it was quite rewarding to be able to kill a biochemical monster.
"And where are we going to be sent?"
"There are many possibilities that we could be sold into some marginal galaxy, put on a mind-controlled collar and become slave soldiers, or sold to laboratories to make modified humans, and the strange alien race is always very popular with those illegal biological labs.
Of course, if you're lucky, you might be sold to some hardcore extraterrestrial lady, some aliens have special fetishes for different races of the opposite sex, and your race looks weird, but it's white and tender, maybe someone will like it. ”
"Of course, the worst thing is to sell it to some alien races with cannibalistic habits, for example, I once heard that on a planet in the fringe star region, there is a restaurant that specializes in providing gourmet barbecue made with intelligent races as ingredients, and depending on your appearance, it may be able to make a very good main dish."
I listened to the scalp tingling, no matter which result, it seems to be very miserable, even if it is the luck in the mouth of the Jace, to the alien lady as a training product, it is completely unacceptable to me, the thought that there may be a female worm or female lizard man lying on my body, I feel that it is better to die now, but deep down I still have a glimmer of hope after all, after all, not everyone can easily give up their lives.
Also, I think this Karim's tone is very light-hearted, maybe it's just a joke.
"Aren't you afraid?" I asked tentatively.
Nakarim shook his head: "There's nothing to be afraid of, as Jace, we've learned to ignore death since we were young, and besides, my genes have been modified since birth, and I have an unimaginable resistance to pain, even if I am burned alive or dismantled, it is nothing to me." ”
I said to myself, it's really a hell of a day, you don't care, I can't do it, but it's useless to just tell him, I just hope that Demon Eye won't go to the edge of the star to sell me.
As long as you don't get eaten, even if you become a slave warrior, there is always hope of escaping.
Just as I was thinking about it, the spaceship suddenly shook violently, and I felt as if the air around me had suddenly frozen, and then, the air twisted, and a feeling of dizziness suddenly came, and this feeling of dizziness that I had never felt before made me almost vomit.
I slammed on the ground, and it took me a while to get used to the sudden solemn air, and I glanced at the Jace, only to find that the other person looked as usual, and my heart was somewhat calm, "What happened?" ”
"It's a subspace jump, this spaceship must have entered faster-than-light mode, say goodbye to your hometown, maybe you won't have a chance to see it again."
I couldn't see what was happening outside the spaceship, and I guess even if I did, I couldn't understand it, but I still couldn't help but feel a strong sense of loneliness in my heart, am I about to leave the earth and rush out of the solar system? The long-cherished wish of mankind for many years, the goal that countless scientists want to achieve, was completed by the object at this moment, it is really a bit ironic to think about it, but unfortunately no one knows what happened here, otherwise he may be able to go down in history. The first human being to walk out of the solar system or something, that's much more windy than the first to go to the moon.
Maybe you can set up a monument or something.
I was thinking wildly, but my stomach was rumbling uncontrollably.
After some tossing and turning before, I fell asleep for a while, and the beer barbecue I ate before had already been digested.
"By the way, do we have anything to eat when we're locked up here?"
"Don't worry, food should be delivered in a while." Then Karim is an old god.
Sure enough, in less than an hour, a bright light suddenly appeared in the distance, and two Kraworms approached the huge cabin with a small cart.
There were all sorts of food on the cart, huge chunks of meat, green pieces of unknown hell, they seemed to be there to deliver feed, and as soon as I entered the door I heard all sorts of weird roars coming from the cages around me.
The insects threw the food in the car into the cage one by one, and from time to time took out a list to compare.
When it was my turn, one of the wormmen placed two fist-sized yellow lumps and a bottle of water in front of me.
