It's a frog jump. But in any case, the jump speed and distance are not comparable to those of a real frog, and at most it moves between different fragments. Of course, the time consumed is no longer as long as it was at the beginning.

In the new hunting grounds, the prey is once again captured.

Then, continue the transfer and head to a new prey area.

This process is reciprocating and monotonous, but it also constantly produces more thinking consciousness and more changes.

Slime grows into a humanoid body that is more than three meters tall, with limbs, and judging by certain features of the body, it should be a male. Its pectoral muscles are particularly strong, like blocks, and there is an extra mass of gender-specific genitals in the middle of its legs. Although the appearance is not obvious, as long as you see it, it does not make the viewer think that "this is a woman".

The speed and pattern of eating has also changed. The man reached out directly and grabbed the fragments of the corpse floating through the air, stuffed them into his mouth, and swallowed them.

He has no teeth, no chewing, no esophagus, no stomach pouch and intestinal tubes, let alone digestion and excretion. This is exactly the practice of following the cellular memory guide. In the basic concept of the cell, this is what human beings should look like. Food must be stuffed into your mouth to be considered eating. This is actually no different from the original way of eating the slime in the form of wrapping, except for the difference in movement and appearance.

The head is incomplete, it's huge, and it doesn't look like a human, but rather like a giant monster from a horror movie. It has evolved a nose with a keen sense of smell, but it has only one eye, firmly embedded just above the bridge of the nose, and can rotate back and forth 180 degrees with the traction of well-developed muscle bundles.

There are only two items in the daily work: eating, and thinking.

Nightshade doesn't know why she's the way she is?

The answer to the question "Who am I" was given a week ago.

She remembered that she had given the order to blow up the ship, and she remembered the flames and heat that rushed to her face, and the huge wave of air that pushed her, along with the dead "worker bees" scattered around her, and various mechanical parts, into the eternal dark universe.

The criterion for judging whether a cyborg, half-biotic person is dead is whether the core of the brain has been damaged. In this sense, Nightshade is undoubtedly dead. Luckily, there were a large number of dead "worker bee" corpses around her at that time. Although the protective shield of the brain was blown apart, Nightshade's shattered brain tissue was able to stick to the surface of a "worker bee" corpse. The explosion guided all kinds of mechanical parts scattered in all directions, and these hard metals were extremely destructive, and they easily cut the corpse apart. In this way, Nightshade's brain tissue came into contact with the flesh and blood of the "worker bees", and although the rest of the parts were completely dead, there was still a mass the size of an egg that was preserved, not evaporated in the huge wave of heat, and still maintained its essential activity.

Nightshadow never thought of receiving Su Hao's blood transformation and becoming his "worker bee". But in this case, she herself has to admit that the reason why she can still live in her current strange form is entirely due to the black particles in the body of the dead "worker bee". This cell's thirst for survival is even stronger than its own. Unfortunately, the black particles have adapted to the parasitic environment in the bodies of the "worker bees", which need oxygen. Otherwise, there is only a dead end.

Nightshadow is a cyborg with an oxygen support system attached to it. The mass of flesh and blood that was mixed with each other happened to be connected to the oxygen supply system from her body. In this terrible environment, where death is at risk of death, the black particles are forced to go into hibernation based on the residual oxygen, in the hope of being able to evolve again. At the very least, it is possible to survive in an oxygen-free environment.

People who live in cold regions all year round must feel extremely uncomfortable when they suddenly come to the equator. But as long as I live here for a while, I gradually forget about the ice and snow where I once lived. The same is true for cells, where the black particles must evolve again at the right time, as well as a strong threat from the outside world. This is equivalent to throwing a cream man with a weak personality into the barracks, and in the midst of the instructor's whip and reprimand, he himself will be completely transformed.

The formation of the core of the brain is still the remnants of the brain tissue of the Night Shadow. However, the evolutionary consciousness of the black particles is entirely based on the external environment. They devoured a large number of dead bodies, and naturally chose men who were more capable than women in every category. Nightshade is helpless about this, but she must also submit to the crisis consciousness of the black particles. However, this change should only be temporary. As long as the core of her brain is still Nightshade, she has the power to transform this body into a woman again.

She crawls, jumps, glides between the wreckage of massive spaceships. Nightshade is not as hungry for corpse fragments as she had been in the first place. She became a picky eater and focused only on protein and energy. The re-change of the body is also based on this, that is, the energy is higher than one qiē, and the rest of the material composition only has an effect on the change in the body. In order to protect himself, Nightshade even grows a layer of scales on some key parts of the surface of his body, and there are also thin and tough flesh membranes under the ribs of his arms.

There is no need for aesthetics. "Chanel" and "Louis Vuitton" simply mean nothing at such times. Stockings and high heels are just for the eyeballs, and the tall breasts and plump buttocks are all cumbersome.

Nightshade increases the height of his body to fifteen meters. The spine has evolved to a combination of snakes that can bend freely and even tie knots from the middle. The musculature has also become more flexible, and the arms are five meters long, and there are as many as six pairs. The lower limbs are almost completely gone, and there is no environment in which they can function, so there is no need for them to appear.

Nightshade truly understands the true concept of the word "waste".

Every bit of energy is precious. If you don't have food, you can't survive.

The reason why he turned himself into a long-legged snake is to be able to better shuttle back and forth between the wreckage of the spaceship. Nightshade's visual abilities have evolved to the point where he can see objects in the dark without the need for light. Her sense of smell is even more acute, and she can smell the smell of meat sandwiched between heavy steel plates. Whenever this happens, Nightshade has to pry open the heavy, sturdy covering with the help of tools like steel pipes, just to get the dead flesh that keeps her stomach.

There are more than 10,000 crew members on the "Explorer 1", but the most that can really become the food of the Night Shadow is about 2,000. Cyborgs, half-cyborgs are inedible, they're just a pile of parts, and the scraps of flesh and juice in their brains aren't worth mentioning. Despite this, a large number of crew members were gasified in the explosion and even burned to char on the spot.

There are very few fragments of corpses floating in space, and Nightshade soon begins to face a huge food crisis.

She needs meat. To be precise, it takes energy.

It took a lot of time for Nightshade to gather the pieces of corpses he could collect and load them into a large shipping container. In the coming period, this is the foundation of her survival. If you eat it all, there will be no more.

After returning to his human form, Nightshade had an extremely crazy thought in his head.

She wants to rebuild Explorer One.

It's a bit of a joke. What can she do without a dockyard, without a workshop, without even the most basic equipment?

The idea came from a water purifier that was captured by fleshy tentacles. This kind of gadget, which is only about ten centimeters in height, is equipped on every cyborgic and half-cyborg person. Its function is to serve as a preparatory means to preserve the excrement produced in the cyborg's body. Although the body is only left with the brain, it still needs a constant supply of water, and the excessive body temperature also needs to be cooled by sweating. Excrement refers to sweat, which is collected and injected into the species culture chamber inside the ship. There, it is broken down into salt, purified water, and fertilizer.

Relying on the various accessories found in the ship's wreckage, Nightshadow managed to build a system to separate impurities from the water purifier, as well as a miniature version of the plant culture pod. It was a closed cabin of about two square meters, and a small number of plant stems and leaves could be obtained at a time. The water comes from the ice floating around the ship's wreckage, and a small solar panel becomes the power system. The beams of light from distant stars are faint enough to drive the entire system.

Nightshade knew it was an extremely difficult choice. But she couldn't do better.

Perhaps, the Earth side will also send "Explorer Six". However, with no signal contact, the shipwreckage drifts in an irregular direction, and the odds of meeting them are extremely slim.

I don't need oxygen anymore. However, like now, living without people and ghosts is not the ending that Nightshade wants.

She often sat in a daze on the steel wreckage, and from time to time the urge to grab some sharp object and thrust it into her brain.

Death is indeed a kind of happiness.

This is the last option. But as a last resort, Nightshade forced herself not to think in that direction.

My man has gone to that coordinate, and he is waiting for me there.

I have to live to see him. Even if you die, you must first fulfill this wish!

……

Gao Liquan stood in front of the huge holographic screen, his face grim.

It is only more than 110,000 kilometers away from Mars, and through the porthole of the spacecraft, it is enough to feel the flames from the sun, as well as the blazing heat.

Lao Song's figure appeared on the screen. The corners of his eyes were wrinkled, but his expression was nervous.

"Why is this happening? Did you find out why? ”

"The people below are trying to investigate. However, there is little hope, and it is estimated that nothing will be found. ”

The battleship where Gao Liquan is located is a huge pyramid that Wang Qinian made from the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. In the message left by the Atlanteans, it was referred to as the "Universal Cruiser Type III".

The internal structure of the triangular battleship has been eaten through. However, no matter how hard the researchers tried, they still couldn't solve the mystery of the portal.

Mass migration between Mars and Earth has begun. According to the information that has been obtained so far, Lao Song decided to imitate this triangular battleship. The relevant design plan has been worked out, and all that remains is the final sailing test of the prototype of the triangular battleship, that is, the pyramid itself.

Computer analysis shows that this type of warship is extremely fast. In order to experience it for himself, Gao Liquan boarded the battleship with great interest.

It's not about risking yourself. The pyramid has been accessed many times and its safety has long been proven. According to Gao Liquan's instructions, the test destination of the triangular battleship was located on the periphery of the solar system. However, no one expected that the battleship had just flown to its current location, and before it reached Mars, it was blocked by an indescribable strange force and could no longer move forward.

"I don't know how to describe it."

Gao Liquan's face was gloomy, and his eyes were full of undisguised surprise: "The various electronic instruments of this battleship are working normally, and the engines are also working, but they can't produce the thrust they should have. It's like we're stuck in a wall, or sandwiched between two reefs. I sent someone down to see it, and there was nothing in front of me, the small workboat could move freely, and there was no obstacle for the expatriates. ”

Lao Song frowned, and kept shaking his head: "This is not in line with common sense, and it can't be explained." ”

Gao Liquan did not speak. The appearance of this triangular battleship is itself unreasonable. Even more than a hundred years ago, when Wang Qinian was still on the earth, he said that this thing was definitely not the product of the human world. However, it is only now that its anomaly has been discovered.

"Do you want to try again?"

After thinking for a few minutes, Gao Liquan said: "This should be some kind of energy bondage. With the capabilities of this battleship, it should be possible to break through the obstacles. ”

Lao Song's expression was solemn, and he slowly shook his head: "Let's go back!" If there is any problem, I will come back first. If this happens, the ship's imitation plan must also be revised. If this problem cannot be solved, I am afraid that we will have to design new warships separately. ”

Gao Liquan instinctively wanted to nod. Just as he was about to say yes, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the workboat outside the porthole, and a reinforcement fleet that had received an order and was coming from the direction of the Martian base, and the fuzzy hull could already be seen.

"I think we should try it."

An impulse that only a soldier has, Gao Liquan vetoed Lao Song's Jianyi: "The current power engine power is only 54 percent, I want to increase it, 80 percent, or 100 percent." Perhaps, this obstacle is simply a distraction effect created by the internal parts of the battleship. Although we understand the design principles, there are still many things that still feel unfamiliar. ”

Lao Song did not answer.

This amounts to acquiescence.

He knew that even if he spoke out to dissuade him, it would be difficult to change Gao Liquan's mind. This is a stubborn guy, not to mention that what he said also has some truth. If the engine power is increased to 100 percent, it will still not be able to change this peculiar obstruction, and needless to say, Gao Liquan will also order the return of the ship.

The operator began to execute the commands, and as the energy output increased, so did the engine power. The vents distributed in the triangular side towers continuously emit dazzling white light.

"At the moment, the power is 85 percent, and the energy input continues to increase."

"Ninety percent, and there is still no sign of breaking through the barriers."

"One hundred percent, the maximum energy supply value has been reached."

Looking at the peak energy output meter on the screen, Gao Liquan's face, which originally had a hint of expectation, gradually appeared angry.

He hates this kind of situation where things are out of control. This was originally a battleship, but it was fixed here and could not be entered. Of course, as long as you make a U-turn, or change direction, the triangular battleship can still move.

The shape of the Earth appears on the hologram, with the triangular battleship as the core, and the current location of the triangular battleship as the radius, drawing a regular circular trajectory.

This is the obstacle that the triangular battleship cannot break through. As long as it is inside this round line, it can fly freely. Gao Liquan has tried, whether to the left or to the right, as long as he reaches the edge of this arc, he will encounter the same problem.

This is not the result that Gao Liquan wants.

He is no longer the ordinary special forces soldier of the biological warfare period. With the increasing status and power, Gao Liquan's horizons and thinking have also become broader. He yearns for a more far-reaching universe, and even envies Nightshadow and others who are far away on the "Explorer 1" spaceship. Gao Liquan has always felt that he must go to that distant coordinate and become the bravest warrior beside the "Queen Bee".

The environment, the long-term thoughts, anger and irritability...... With the addition of many factors, Gao Liquan made a decision that had never been considered before and was completely made by a hot mind.

"Continue to increase the energy supply and see what the maximum power of the engine can reach?"

In fact, the answer to this question has been available for a long time. According to the relevant tests made by Wang Qinian during the Earth period, the maximum engine power of this triangular warship can exceed the upper limit by about 20 percent. Of course, the ultra-high power cannot be maintained for too long and can only be used occasionally in an emergency. Otherwise, the engine will be severely damaged.

Ko didn't think it was that dangerous.

He's a fortifier with a fleet of reinforcements from Mars next to him. Even in the worst-case scenario, ship can be abandoned at any time. He just wanted to try it, to see what the limits of this mysterious warship were? That's all!

No one questioned Gao Liquan's order. Both on Earth and here, he is the Supreme Commander. What's more, the executive is also eager to try this order. Taking a risk on something when it's safe to do so is definitely something that most people are willing to try.

"Increase the energy input, and the engine power increase target is 120 percent."

As the commands are typed on the computer, the glow from the engine vent gradually turns red. However, the triangular battleship remained unmoved.

An indescribable frustration rolled in Gao Liquan's body.

Unexpectedly, even if the power is increased to the limit, it still cannot change the established facts. Glancing at the rising numbers on the chart, he sighed inwardly and was about to give the order to return.

Suddenly, a violent wave of energy filled the entire bridge.
