Chapter 1 Insect Transformation

Next Chapter

Tianhai City, Organic Waste Treatment Zone, Area A.

In the middle of the night, a small spaceship hovered within 5 kilometers of the area, surrounded by searchlights hanging from the tall fence, illuminating the area as if it were daylight.

In the cockpit of the ship, a bearded middle-aged man in a police officer's uniform looked listlessly at the data displayed by the meter, and took the trouble to report the situation in this area to his superiors.

"The monitoring facilities and the pulse grid in Area A are operating normally."

"There are 2,875 three-bone worms, no number of abnormalities, and various biochemical indicators are in a stable state."

"510 tons of organic waste were consumed in 24 hours, and the chemical indicators of excrement were normal."

……

Beside him sat a young man of twenty-four or fifteen, with a cigar in his mouth, leaning back in his chair and puffing his eyes.

"Ahem...... Extinguish your cigar, you damn thing, you're going to smoke me to death!" ”

"Lao Liang drives your spaceship well, and I am almost annoyed to death when I listen to your reports of these repetitive data every day!"

"Man, this is a routine business, although there is no girl bubble, and it is also boring, but I don't want to lose this job yet."

"Business? Going around the smelly, dirty garbage all day and dealing with these retarded bugs is nothing short of insulting to my intelligence. Yang Fan said impatiently.

He watched as the swarms of three-bone worms below rushed into the mountain-like garbage heap, and in a matter of moments, the piles of organic waste were eaten up, and the crackling sound made people's scalps tingle.

The three-bone insect is a species from the planet Hort, with a body length of nearly two meters and four thin claws on its body, which is extremely incommensurate with its fat body, named after the three protrusions shaped like bones on its head, its skin is grayish-white, and its back is covered with excretory holes.

After long-term research, humans have found that these giant insects like to eat organic waste, which can be converted into non-toxic gases after decomposition in the body.

For decades, human beings have used spaceships to transport the trioskeletal worm from the distant planet Hott to Earth as a tool for processing organic waste, although the cost is extremely expensive, but the earth's ecological environment has been effectively improved.

So far, tens of thousands of triboned insects have been found in major cities around the world, and they are veritable "volunteer cleaners".

Rumble......

A roar was heard not far away, and a large ship hung in mid-air, piles of organic waste pouring down from the hatch.

Hundreds of trioskeletal insects on the ground swarmed up and began to frantically eat the scrap that had just fallen.

In order to compete for the garbage, the three-bone worms began to bite each other, and the scene seemed to get a little out of control.

"Looks like we're going to have to go down, if these reptiles make a mess, we won't be able to eat and walk around." Liang Ximing looked at the chaotic scene below and said to Yang Fan.

Yang Fan was a very good professional soldier, and he was also a special soldier.

Two years ago, he retired early because he accidentally injured his comrade during an exercise.

Later, he became a police officer, and Liang Ximing was responsible for guarding the tribone worms in Area A, and the two have been partners for two years.

Yang Fan's mother died of illness when he was a child, and his father Yang Xuexin was an expert in the study of tribone worms, and went to the planet Hult five years ago to engage in scientific research.

Yang Fan has always been proud of his father, his dream is to be able to take a spaceship to set foot on the mysterious planet Hult, but fate has played a joke on him, the gap between ideals and reality is really big, and the current life is definitely not what he wants.

The ship slowly landed on a flat ground, the hatch opened, and the two men stepped out of it, the surrounding piles of organic waste emitting a disgusting stench.

Yang Fan threw away the half-smoked cigar, covered his nose with one hand, took out a pistol with the other, and rushed over with Liang Ximing.

"You filthy foodies, disperse!"

Yang Fan's shouting did not play a half-hairy role, he immediately raised the pistol and pulled the trigger, only to see several lightning bolts hit the heads of several three-bone insects, after the scream, the three-bone insects stopped biting and fled in all directions.

The pulse current emitted by the pistol is not fatal, but it is what these reptiles fear the most.

"Yang Fan, good marksmanship!" Liang Ximing put away the pistol and praised with a thumbs up on the side.

"Don't forget that I'm a special soldier, but no matter how good my marksmanship is, it's useless, and I'm just a guard here, do you think there's anything to be proud of?" Yang Fan looked disdainful.

The two walked while talking, when Liang Ximing suddenly stopped.

"Yang Fan, look at the reptile in front of you."

Yang Fan looked in the direction Liang Ximing pointed, and not far away, a fat three-bone insect was lying on the ground with its feet facing the sky, convulsing non-stop.

"Looks like this reptile is going to hang, but the little cub in the belly will continue to take over its mission."

There is no male or female in the three-bone worm, and the reproduction method is very special, and the larvae will give birth to new life in the body after maturity.

When a new life is born, it means that the mother dies forever, but the lifespan of the triosteopathy is extremely impressive, usually living for decades.

The two of them approached and watched as the three-bone worm with its big belly kept struggling, letting out a painful scream, and its bulging belly was still wriggling.

Things like this have long been commonplace for the two, and Liang Ximing looked at the mark on the left ear of the three-bone insect, which read "1893".

"This is the one that just arrived from the planet Hult last year, and it stands to reason that this shouldn't be the case." Liang Ximing said with a frown.

"Lao Liang, what's all the fuss about, it's like a person pooping and farting, you can't hold it back."

Yang Fan said and took out a cigar and lit it, the smell of cigar smoke dispelled a lot of the pungent stench around him, and he turned his head to stop looking at this disgusting scene.

Liang Ximing's eyes stared at the wriggling belly, and with a "poof" sound, a crack opened in the middle of the belly.

Then a round white head emerged from it, and suddenly opened its mouth and let out a strange scream.

The two of them had never heard this kind of cry before, and the surrounding three-bone worms all curled up on the ground and did not move when they heard this call, trembling with fear.

Touch......

only heard an explosion, and the entire belly of the three-bone insect burst open, and the internal organs of the green flower splashed Liang Ximing's body, so frightened that he sat on the ground.

A monster with a white body and six claws appeared in front of him, a meter long, and a thorny tail under its back.

Those green eyes and red mouth are extremely terrifying, this is by no means a cub born by the three-bone worm.

"Yang Fan, this ...... What the hell is this? ”

Liang Ximing's scream aroused Yang Fan's vigilance, and he was dumbfounded when he turned around and saw the strange insect.

"Lao Liang, grab it!"

Yang Fan shouted, and casually took out a pistol and aimed it at the strange insect.

Liang Ximing was the closest, and he got up and pounced.

Burst......

The strange insect's big mouth spewed out a stream of thick green pus, and Liang Ximing instinctively blocked it with his hand, and the green pus splashed on his arm.

"Ah......h

Liang Ximing screamed miserably, half of his arm had been corroded by green pus, and it festered instantly.

At this time, a flash of lightning also shot on the head of the strange insect, and the strange insect hissed, and ran away into the distance, and the three-bone insect fled in all directions.

"How are you?"

"Leave me alone, go catch that monster!"

Yang Fan knew that this matter was not trivial, although Liang Ximing was not lightly injured, but his life was not in danger, so he flew and chased after him.

Illuminated by the searchlight, the six-clawed monster jumped up and down the garbage heap with a jaw-dropping speed.

Yang Fan didn't hit the key point with a few shots, the strange insect ran under the fence, and climbed up easily with six claws, but the next scene shocked him even more.

The strange insect was afraid to go above the fence, and quickly destroyed the pulse power grid with its agile forelimbs, and escaped from the fence, which was several times more skilled than a professional electrician.

Liang Ximing had already called the police, but by the time the support personnel arrived, the strange insect had already fled without a trace.

The next day, a news that shocked the whole country made headlines in major media and networks, not only in Zone A, but also in major cities around the world.

It was further confirmed that the strange insects that appeared were all from the batch of three-bone insects that were transported from the planet Hult last year.

The Joint Space Command, located in Xijing City, is home to the country's top scientists and is a specialized institution for the study of the planet Hult.

At this time, the commander-in-chief, General Lei Shaoxiong, sat in front of the command platform and looked at the strings of flashed data and was silent.

In the past few days, the three-bone insect incident has caused him to be very anxious, and the general, who is in his 40s, has not closed his eyes for two days and two nights.

He convened several expert meetings, analyzed the data sent by the command branches of various countries, and also conducted a comprehensive data analysis of the last batch of tribonets, and the result was a great disappointment.

There are a total of 1,450 three-bone worms that have mutated this time, which means that 1,450 strange worms have escaped, and through a comprehensive examination of the corpses left behind by all the three-bone worms, the data shows that there is no abnormality.

"General, the reporters outside have been waiting for more than an hour, if you don't go out again, I'm afraid they will rush in." A young lady stood outside the door and whispered.

She is Lei Shaoxiong's secretary named Ding Meiqi, a doctor of space biology research, with outstanding ability and knowledge.

"I see, tell them I'll be there soon."

In the conference room on the first floor of the headquarters, Lei Shaoxiong heard the noise of chattering inside before he entered the door, and dealing with reporters has never been his forte, so he rarely appeared in public, but this time he couldn't hide.

As soon as he entered the door with his front foot, he saw dozens of reporters from various countries rushing up and blocking him at the door.

"General, will this three-bone insect incident pose a threat to public safety?"

"General, does the appearance of those strange insects mean that there are other species on the planet Hott?"

"My glasses are squeezed out, don't squeeze them!"

"Whoever stepped on my shoes, my shoes ......"

"These alien bed bugs are a threat to humanity, and I want to protest against ......"

The conference room was like a frying pan, stirring up people on their backs, and these people still looked like reporters.

Looking at the chaotic scene in front of her, Ding Meiqi had already messed up, and finally rushed over a few soldiers to control the scene.

"Everyone, be quiet!" Lei Shaoxiong shouted loudly.

His voice really worked, and it shocked everyone for a while.

"In response to this incident, I clearly told you that there are two most important things to do at the moment, one is to capture all the escaped strange insects as soon as possible to avoid causing panic around the world, and the other is to find conclusive evidence to find out the truth about this mutation, and the space joint command will give the public a satisfactory answer in three days."

After Lei Shaoxiong finished speaking, he left the conference room surrounded by soldiers, but after he returned to the command and control center, he regretted what he had just said about the three-day period.

Catching 1,450 bugs on a global scale is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and the most important thing is that no valuable clues have been found for this strange insect so far.
