Turn back to before the left-wing counterattack began.

K11, Eastern Defense Zone, Temporary Containment Facility B3.

The vast majority of the temporary shelters on the eastern front are space shelters that are urgently converted from large containers, because the overall construction equipment, materials, and energy are very scarce, and the newly built shelters are three containers placed in an equilateral triangle plus a set of attitude control system, using rotation to obtain "gravity".

The structure of the temporary shelter is very unreliable, the columnar container with an octagonal cross-section is huge, the width is more than 200 meters, the area dedicated to personnel living can be divided into fifty or sixty floors, and the low-cost attitude control system does not have enough wheelbase, so that every few floors in the container can feel a significant difference in "gravity", and the living environment can be called very bad.

Wood was checking the ship's berthing table, but his mind was not on his work.

Wood is a refugee like him who fled here not long ago on a civilian rescue ship, and there are many, many more, maybe more than a billion.

The overall sources of refugees from the right wing of the KT cluster gathered in K11 can be roughly divided into three categories: low-level workers of space station/industrial star/asteroid mining; the "rich" on the resident star; Other professionals who have been brought out in various rescue operations.

The latter two types of refugees were not originally astronauts, and it was difficult for them to adapt to a long time in space, and the Eastern Front Defense Zone, which had a messy system, only needed a very small number of the best of them. The rest, as refugees, do not have enough funds for genetic optimization, and have been sent to the resident planets of the MR cluster separately, but recently the short-term capacity of each resident planet is close to saturation, and the civil protests have become louder, so they have begun to increase explosively in K11.

Unlike ordinary refugees, Wood was once a pirate, and now he works for the Red Lords - and his reaction to the thought of the small, demon-like creature in the swarm is not fear, but ...... The name is very indigenous.

Of the more than 100 people in the pirate group who were caught by bugs, only Wood and five others were released to spy on the "Red Devil Monarch", and perhaps other people who were caught by bugs were doing the same job, but Wood did not have their contact information.

With his experience as second officer on a pirate ship, Wood quickly stood out from the crowd of refugees - in fact, after the refugees needed medical examinations and experience forms, he worked in a temporary position for a few days.

He is now the deputy director of the Material Mobility Center in Temporary Shelter Facility B3, a position of real power at the same level as the Ministry of Personnel in a shelter facility without armed forces.

Refugees will be used for logistics and personnel work, because the potential danger in temporary shelters makes astronauts with a stable income reluctant to work here.

For example, just twelve hours ago, B4 next door was destroyed by the destruction of the container structure due to a riot by refugees, and more than 3,000 people are said to have been sucked into space, and now more than 1,000 are still missing, and the whereabouts are all dead.

This kind of thing can't happen on an ordinary ship, and the most basic principle of all ships is that there can be no single weapon inside the ship that can penetrate the outer wall. Of course, businessmen took the opportunity to dispose of the containers that were to retire, which was not very reliable, and the rush assembly, there were countless refugees living in it with critical psychological pressure, and incidents like B4 could happen again at any time.

Wood was paid a decent job as a refugee and hopefully promoted, and it was long overdue to put the "Red Devils" affair aside. In fact, his former boss was also a pirate who was used to stabbing in the back, so he didn't have a psychological burden on it.

But in just one day, four of the five pirate companions he had come with had been taken away by the armed guys, and Wood's position let him know that they had been taken aboard a warship, and that there were at least three hundred of them in the entire containment facility at about the same time.

Wood wondered if he and the rest of the group would be arrested as well.

The only condition in his favor was that the other five were not on the same ship as him when they were pirates! In addition, there is no captain among them, and the second officer is in charge of the ship's work and port operations when the captain and chief officer are there, and they do not participate in the ** meeting, which belongs to the type of face.

In this way, it seems that he still has some time.

Surrender?

An idea popped into his mind, and Wood quickly shook his head in rejection.

A few days ago, there was a medical examination with a very troublesome procedure, and it is difficult to determine whether the military will be dissected after turning themselves in.

Escape to the MR system?

It's not an option. He was able to get a ship, and even instigated a few disgruntled guys to act together, but he could get not a warship, and it was very risky to run out and become a pirate, and if he entered a normal society, he would be caught by the border patrol immediately.

Go back and report to the bugs?

Forget it, even the military can't believe it, and it's still bugs.

Watching the time pass little by little, Wood finally couldn't stand the pressure and left his post to act.

It has to be said that the temporary shelter institutions that were built urgently at a low cost are very loosely controlled.

Wood colluded with more than a dozen people in various departments to transfer a small armed merchant ship for both passengers and cargo under the pretext of transporting elite refugees, and it only took two hours before boarding the ship and leaving the temporary shelter B3 through a forged agreement.

The process of transporting a large number of refugees some time ago caused a huge manpower burden, and with it various procedures simplified, Wood was able to complete the departure operation without the knowledge of the Eastern Front Management Center and the top management of B3, which was a fundamental loophole. Of course, such a vulnerability is not something that anyone can exploit, and it requires the cooperation of at least four departments of the temporary containment agency.

But the rest wasn't easy.

Capture the ship.

The seizure of the ship was an almost unsolvable problem: the door to the bridge control room could not be destroyed without heavy weapons. So if you want to seize the ship, you must wait for the opportunity for the personnel to leave the bridge.

Perhaps the crew was unprepared for this, and it was only four hours after they boarded the ship, and shortly after passing through the MR243 Starbridge to check the troops, the captain actually appeared in the dining area with all the crew.

After a riot that followed, and the two sides paid a combined price of eight lives, Wood and his accomplices got their hands on the small armed merchant ship, which numbered only seven men.

The ship was asked about the death, but none of them were well-versed in the underlying electronics, which means that if someone does a detailed inspection of the ship, the deleted logs may be recovered. So the living can only go to the point of no return.

According to Wood, it would take a long time for the ship to be wanted and pinpointed, and they could use the remaining fuel to make it around a few nearby galaxies, and join them if they ran into pirates.

The ideal is plump, and the reality is skinny.

The mutation began the moment the dead men of the armed merchant ships began.

There is not just one kind of parasite that Demon King flour throws in, but three! Whenever possible, the Demon Kings never wanted to put all their eggs in the same basket.

With the dead man's blood comes into play, it can be called the third parasitic bacterium, which is completely harmless and even helps digestion in the esophagus. It can only be transmitted by bodily fluids, does not have the ability to infect the air, and does not mutate at all. The only ability of parasitic bacteria No. 3 is to emit air touch enzymes through wounds or organ corruption after the death of the host, which is the only evidence that parasite No. 2 has entered the metamorphosis stage!

The preparation stage of Parasite No. 2 is completely camouflaged, and the No. 2 parasite in this stage is only a few blood vessels in the human body, which is not only like a blood vessel, but also completely acts as a blood vessel and absorbs nutrients from the blood.

When the touch enzyme produced by parasite No. 3 bacteria enters the bloodstream and reaches a certain concentration, parasite No. 2 will be activated, dividing into organ cells and transforming into a real parasite in just ten minutes.

Activated No. 2 is much like Parasite No. 1 in its initial state, and behaves completely differently after that.

The basal type of parasite No. 1, according to the results, can be called occupying, which will completely replace the human nervous system, including the brain.

The only purpose of the existence of parasite No. 2 is to guide, and the adult worm will replace the blood vessels and some organs of the whole body in the future, and they do not directly harm people, but through the change of hormone ratio and pheromones in the body, etc., people gradually produce the "hallucination" or hypnosis that they are insects. It can be understood that the bugs have hijacked people from the inside!

Hijacking is not a steady state, and when the mental state is poor or the adrenaline is too much (extreme emotions), the "hallucinations" may be lifted, and even the mutated parts of the blood vessels and organs can be surgically removed to return the second parasite to its full camouflage state.

To put it bluntly, the two parasites other than No. 1 were specially developed to bypass the human epidemic prevention system, and No. 2 may even be able to control the "role-playing NPC", and the scope of application is far from being comparable to No. 1.

If there is any flaw, it may only be the natural reproduction/infection ability that has been specifically removed in order to circumvent epidemic prevention and leave no evidence or clues, which is a kind of parasitic stuff that can only be completed by blood injection.

No one on this small armed merchant ship was going to check on Wood.

A few hours later, Wood took advantage of the ship's medicine to put the only guy on the ship who could read the star map into a coma with a high fever.

There will be such a plan, because it is good to die, the navigator who he picked up when he took the ship is dead, most of the other former refugees have never touched a spaceship at all, and with the original crew tied up in the room, Wood is both a temporary captain and navigator, as long as the only person who can operate the communication system is silenced, the rest of the people will not know where he drove the ship at all.

Returning to K11 with a little risk, the Eastern Front Command has not yet issued a wanted warrant for the ship, and the ship itself is an armed transport ship going back and forth between the MR star cluster and K11, and all kinds of procedures and electronic documents are complete, so it successfully passed the customs and jumped to the right-wing star sector.

After 30 hours of tossing and turning, the ship finally docked a space worm mother at K20.

As hundreds of human-sized insects poured in from the airlock, the refugees on board were stunned and didn't even realize what was happening, and were drowned by the bugs.

This is not the only insect mother Donia, just "extracting" information from the "insect man" and broadcasting it, ordinary insect mothers can do it.

Well, the surrounding intelligence has sunk six lone human ships in the last day, and maybe some "wormmen" will die in vain.
