Volume V, 04: Background
After dealing with the bugs that had invaded the interior, the medical transport ship did not rush to the road, but first carried out a period of repairs, repairing and replacing the damaged parts of the ship, and by the way, separating the corpses. Humans are collected together for refrigeration and freezing, and the insects are thrown directly into the burning furnace. Because these things are left inside the spaceship, it is easy to cause some unknown virus infection.
As an opponent whose goal is to destroy the entire human race, this kind of obvious and very effective biochemical attack method is naturally not less, and in the past twenty years, I don't know how many times the Zerg has used it, causing very serious disasters. It's just that because of the interstellar age, it is also easier for humans to isolate and inspect the group, and after being prepared, the destructive power they cause can still be quickly controlled.
As for the ghost lord who was no longer moving, they didn't dare to approach too riskily, who knew if this was another conspiracy of the Zerg, for these insects who showed their great strength in the war, humans no longer dared to think that they were just a group of inferior races that obeyed biological instincts, but a powerful race that was not much lower than human intelligence. So the decision is to wait and see how it goes.
It's just that things obviously came as a surprise to them.
"Behold, something seems to have come out of it"
Some of the sharp-eyed people had already noticed that something was wrong, and the "coffin" with the characteristic color of Valyrian alloy was flying straight from the direction of the ghost lord, meeting the light of the stars in the distance. The faint blue reflection is somewhat conspicuous in the dark background of the universe.
"Do you want to send someone to the rescue?"
A soldier asked. According to federal regulations, for any wrecked people and ships drifting in space, the spacecraft along the way have the responsibility to rescue.
This is a practice that has been practiced since the Age of Discovery, and it has been revitalized since the Age of Discovery. After all, everyone knows that navigating in space is a very dangerous job, except for those safe lanes that have been established as the standard, most areas have the chance of triggering all kinds of dangers, such as ion storms, gravitational holes, collapsed mass ejections, etc., which are enough accidents to cause a disaster for the ship. Although there is little hope of being saved after the crash. However, it can still be used as a psychological comfort.
It's just that they didn't wait for a group of people to really discuss the results (criminals with weapons are naturally unwilling to lose their voice on this spaceship). An accident has appeared again, what do you have to say?
"Damn, that guy didn't die, it chased after it!"
In the exclamation, most of the people outside the spaceship saw it. The ghost lord floating in the meteorite belt suddenly moved. Rush towards the "coffin" at a faster speed.
In their eyes. Apparently, the guy was just pretending to be dead and luring this side to investigate.
But the commander was noncommittal about this statement, and he just asked the soldier next to him: "Can the explosive device be used?" ”
One of the soldiers looked at the monitor and immediately exhaled, "Huh." The signal shield is gone, and the explosive device can work! ”
……
Exposing the body to the universe is a very dangerous thing, and all kinds of rays and heavy metal dust can cause great damage to living beings themselves, and the danger factor is even several times greater than that of nuclear radiation. However, for evolutionaries who have been strengthened many times, this kind of problem can be ignored, as long as it is not exposed for a long time, nothing will happen.
Shelley took a moment to stick his head out of the hole, biting the gas supply pipe in his mouth, and his curious eyes looked around, his eyes lingering on meteorites, ice chips, planets, and even distant spaceships, after all, such an experience is not available at any time, drifting in the universe, if you exclude the danger, it is simply not too novel.
"No wonder human beings yearn for the starry sky so much, this incomparably wide feeling can indeed arouse everyone's desire to explore and discover"
In the emotion, Shelley did not forget about someone who stayed in the ghost lord, and her vigilant gaze would sweep to the hole in the back from time to time, if the other party really couldn't bear to come out lonely, then she didn't mind letting him know what was called a woman's anger, and any moving object that appeared in her field of vision would suffer an extremely heavy blow.
It's just that before it actually appeared, Shelley would never have imagined that this object would be so big!
"You're wasting my feelings!"
Behind her, the ghost lord who should have been dead actually moved again, and the direction was still in her direction. Although I haven't heard of how much attack power the Ghost Lord has from the memories instilled in the system, it must be compared to other things, just looking at the size of a large football stadium, I know what the result would be if I were entangled in those fleshy tentacles below it.
Bastard!
Shelley couldn't help but scold, and indeed lost his voice, because the voice was gone. At this time, she finally knew what Brother Chen's ability belonged to, it was actually a dark spellcaster similar to a necromancer, and all the struggles and entanglements she had shown before were all lied to her, just to let her come out obediently.
After being annoyed, I feel troublesome, as long as this kind of caster is pulled away, it is a complete firepower battery, and the destructive power is simply not too fierce, not to mention hiding in the body of such a big guy.
"Fortunately, the identity given to me by the system allows me not to worry about exposing my abilities"
Shelley had already stood up as he spoke, a crimson light surging between his hands, and he directly and unabashedly used the abilities he had gained in the evolution space.
Unlike other evolutionaries, the Evolution Center assigned the identity of the seven people to Shelley as human criminals who could use ghost powers, which is why they were locked up at the bottom of Damamas.
After the Human Federation found that some special individuals had appeared in their group, and after awakening the ability to use the ubiquitous ghost energy of the universe, in order to take this powerful individual into their own hands, they began to establish various special forces. Such as "ghosts", "shadows", "blood stars", "flashes", etc., these individuals who are discovered in time are cultivated from an early age.
However, this approach does not include all individuals in the system, and for various reasons, there will always be missing parts. And these people, under the control of their own powerful abilities, tend to be more unruly and unruly, and after flowing into society, they often become a factor of instability for the entire human race, so there are special prisons like Damamas, who are not willing to execute these people easily, but must also be restrained. Wait until some time to take advantage of it.
Now that there are no worries. Shelley can rest assured that she can be right with Chen Xi, she wants to see what abilities this guy still has not used.
It's just that the situation was once again unexpected by Shelley, who thought it was a ghost lord who came to pursue him, but before he reached the attack range. He suddenly turned to the side. Then he went around himself and rushed to the ship's location.
"Coward. Don't dare to fight me, I can only say that you have wasted my mother's feelings again"
Say so. However, Shelley put away the flickering light in her hand, she is not a bloodthirsty and murderous madman, if Chen Xi does not plan to trouble her, but just wants to use the ghost lord as a means of transportation, she does not want to make unnecessary accidents at this time.
But obviously, this woman thinks of Brother Chen too well and too normal, as an aspiring young man who has been working hard all his life on the road of dying and helping others die, how can he be so willing to be ordinary and willing to compromise, that is too ridiculous, you must know that in Brother Chen's life dictionary, there are only crashing accidents, but no reassuring actions.
When it got close to the ship, the Ghost Lord did not stop its movement, but slammed straight into the ship's warning barrage of fire.
"Bastard, what the hell are you trying to do, madman!"
At this moment, not only Shelley was shocked, but most of the people on the spaceship also exclaimed.
"It's coming, ah! Damn it, fire it, beat it to death! ”
Watching an object the size of a football stadium crash straight into it, anyone in a normal person couldn't help but scream and fear, but the commander in the cockpit didn't have much surprise on his face, looking at the many criminals who were in a hurry and were panicking to control the defensive weapons on the spaceship and fire at the ghost lord, he used the broadcast of the whole ship to annotate his previous actions.
"This is no longer the real Zerg Ghost Lord, but a controlled unconscious monster, controlled by one of the most terrifying criminals of the 7 people, I think you should have all heard his name, it is the most mysterious and vicious well-known interstellar pirate in the entire history of the Federation, the flying Captain of the Dutchman, Stark Chen. Barbossa, according to legend, possesses the ability to transform any living creature into a non-dead and non-living being, and control everything about it, without fear of death and the bombardment of weapons, as you can see, ordinary weapons are useless against it. ”
"That's why I told you, compared to the Zerg, these guys are even more terrifying!"
"Okay, I know, but can you do it for us after you've solved it, and then we're going to pry open our spaceship again."
The guys who had evolved from criminals to new crew members shouted at the commander angrily.
"No matter who he is, I don't want to be dragged into the universe, I don't want to stay for a second!"
"God knows what this guy is going to do, what if he plans to turn us into puppets and then control this medical transport ship!"
"Oh my God, the only person who can compete with this kind of thing is to become a zerg."
Everyone's tone was a little flustered, of course they had heard of the pirate's terrifying name, but it was all regarded as a legend, after all, no one had really seen him, because it was said that everyone who had seen it had become an existence similar to the ghost lord outside, but these terrifying stories were not important to them at the moment, because the most critical issue now was how to block the attack of this thing outside.
The defensive artillery fire on the spaceship only caused a kind of flesh and blood chaos, and the substantive lethality did not have much effect at all, and the previous force field shield was destroyed by the incoming insects, and through the screen on the display, they could only watch as the monster outside pried open all parts of the spaceship again, and stretched the disgusting meat pipe in.
"Rest assured, in order to prevent them from having a chance to escape. The federal control of these people is very tight! ”
The commander was full of confidence, and motioned for the soldiers next to him to point the camera at the starry sky behind the ghost lord.
Immediately, a brilliant fireworks appeared there, and the meteorite belt with a dark background as the main color was extremely dazzling and eye-catching. Reflecting this, the ghost lord who was struggling to camp outside suddenly stopped his winding movements and became motionless. Obviously, because of this explosion, the people inside have been completely over.
Seeing this reassuring result, the people in the cockpit finally breathed a long sigh of relief and rejoiced: "Fortunately, there is still this function." Otherwise, we will have to die a lot. ”
After the troubles. Naturally, the remaining crew members continued to repair the damaged parts of the ship.
While the damage this time wasn't as severe as the last, there was undoubtedly a huge problem that needed to be addressed. For the ghost lord who has been entangled, it must be cut off from all the flesh tubes that have penetrated deep into the spaceship, otherwise such a big guy will be dragged on the road. Not to mention how much the ship's speed will be reduced. It is possible that it will be misunderstood as the conspiracy of the Zerg is the most critical issue. They don't want to go through the experience of near-death. In the end, he was killed by his own people.
"But to be honest, I hate this kind of work, it's even more disgusting than when I used to be a butcher!"
Bissis, who had been assigned the job, couldn't help but complain. Under the rapid cutting of the chainsaw, a large amount of yellow-green liquid and blue-white pieces of meat squirted out from the cut meat tube, although wearing a protective suit is not worried about getting touched by these corrosive things, but even looking at it is an extremely bad experience.
In this regard, he was very envious of the buddy in front of him, not only did he not care about these disgusting splashes, but he also rushed to the innermost position every time, and even got into the meat tube, which is really a typical example of doing a line of love. When he thought about it now, he was more glad that he hadn't been caught by the Zerg, otherwise it would be an unbearable painful experience to face those disgusting things every day, and how strong he was.
During another round of breaks, Bisis took the opportunity to go over and say hello: "Hey, buddy, what's your name, your mental endurance is too strong." From this characteristic in front of him, he knew that this person must be extraordinary, like none of them can endure this kind of work, as soon as they stopped, they all went to change into chemical protective clothing, only he was still wearing dirty protective clothing in high spirits.
"You're talking about me?" Chen Xi turned his head and said in an uncertain tone.
It is said that the best cover is to go deep into the masses, understand the masses, and then control the masses, using the chaos caused by the ghost lord transformed into the "Dark Bible" before, he took the opportunity to blend into the spaceship, and after using one of the talents of the Sasm Demon - magic energy control mind control to manipulate the staff to change the file of his identity information, he directly disguised himself as an ordinary prisoner. But obviously, gold will shine wherever he goes, he is so low-key, but he still becomes the focus of other people's attention.
"Of course, I've been paying attention to you for a long time, and I'm not afraid of these disgusting things at all, presumably buddy must have been engaged in a special job before" As he spoke, Bisis had already handed over a cigar and sneered, "Seeing that the beginning is so dangerous, it is obvious that the destination this time is not simple, so I want to know it in advance, and I will have a good time to take care of it in the future." ”
Chen Xi didn't refuse, everyone was useful, all that was left was how to use them to their liking. He took the cigarette, threw it into the smoking port of the protective suit, lit it directly, and then asked meaningfully: "Hearing you say that, did you find anything?" ”
"Well, yes, I noticed the commander's speech." Bissis leaned over and said softly, "At first, he let the explosive device detonate, but there was no response, I felt strange and then went to investigate, and asked some people who have done this here, they said that this kind of military device of the Federation uses a specific signal wavelength, if it is not known in advance, and the special signal shielding is carried out, in the universe without terrain cover, it will definitely explode." ”
"So, what do you think?" Chen Xi's spirit was shocked, but he still didn't show an obvious tone, but continued to ask.
"I don't know much, I don't know very well, but I think the purpose of the Federation this time, the Zerg side should be Zhilu Dao, and it is a thing that they are very vigilant about, so they went deep into the interior of the Federation domain, after all, compared to the bugs that can get here, there must be more bugs on the way to lose in the process of passing through the defense line." Bisis spoke out his speculation, and it was clear that he was also a proponent of conspiracy theories.
Then, with the same smell, they finally became friends.
After a three-hour voyage, the re-launched medical transport finally reached its destination, a large strategic cruiser, but it was not the criminals they sent over first, but the people who died.
In the solemn beat of the drums, an ethereal female voice sang a sad ballad.
"The smoke and dust are not smoke and dust, they are the ashes of heroes flying in the air."
"That long wind is not a long wind, it is guarded by the heroic spirits that surround it."
"We survived, but we suffered too much."
"The lives lost are no longer countable."
"Most people can only sing a sad ballad alone"
"O people who are dominated by killing, they have forgotten that there was warmth in their hearts."
"The dripping rain is like the sound of tears, gradually submerging the world, becoming dark and cold."
"We hope that one day, the raging flames from the hearts of all people will burn through this cruel world."
"Let everyone's hands no longer stain blood."
"Let the dark night of sorrow not be long."
"Let the bright starry sky remain the same."
"I hope that this time will be until the end of the world."
At this time, Brother Chen finally heard the system's belated background prompt.
[Welcome to the D0471 plane, you are currently in exploration mode, except for the fixed faction object, other evolutionaries, after killing, can not get any rewards, among them, personal identity information, language and basic materials have been provided]. [Your current location is the Space Prison Strategic Cruiser, the period is the interstellar era, you will have a one-month deadline to complete the relevant mission, due to the mission is in exploration mode, the scope of the activity is not limited]. [Start the mission background introduction]. [May 12, 4023.] The Zerg descended from the sky with shadows and death!
The overwhelming number of horrors, as well as the targeted strong survival and evolution ability, the entire Federation lost in the early wars, and in the past twenty years, nearly a quarter of the territory of the galaxy has been lost, and hundreds of billions of people have died in the war. The great pain of carrying the bonds of the departed is wrapped around all of us.
One day, a team of scientists who have studied the Zerg and feel that humanity is weak set out to find a special answer beyond the galaxy. Because not long ago, on the planet Prim, which was 70,000 light-years away from the Earth, the most marginal position of human exploration of the Milky Way, they learned evidence of the existence of a creature that is older than humans, and the magnificent architecture and splendid records of civilization undoubtedly gave them a new direction.
Following some kind of clue left by these ancient races, they gradually discovered an amazing secret, but before they could send back conclusive news, the Zerg who were also watching everything about these ancient races discovered them.
Under the overwhelming attack, no one survived.
And now, you'll need to follow in their footsteps and embark on a thrilling journey to find this secret once again.
[Hint: In the exploration mode, in addition to killing the creatures of the opposing camp to obtain the evolution point reward, you can get the corresponding reward by exploring each part of the content information related to the task.
[Throw away your outdated chivalry, war is not a child's game, here, there is no compromise!] No back-down! No flukes! There is only one purpose before you to survive! (To be continued......)
