Chapter Ninety-One: I Want Your Memory
Step by step crisis? non-existent. Hanging by a thread? That's just an illusion.
Everything is in the hands of the Zerg Queen.
In order not to make them suspicious, and not to give them time to suspect, even in the middle of the siege of the cave-dwelling spider's lair, a large number of troops must be deployed to force the humans to act immediately, and in the process, they continue to put pressure on them, and constantly leave a glimmer of room so that the protected people will not die, in order to do a decent job, the Zerg Queen also spent a lot of thought.
In fact, now not only Shur is annoyed because he was deceived, but the queen is also annoyed because it also miscalculated.
In its plan, it kills those worthless humans little by little along the way, and by the way, consumes the power of the eight targets to the greatest extent, and when they reach their destination, the useless people are almost dead, and the eight targets only have half a life left. Once in the safety of the base, they will definitely spend some time resting with peace of mind, and then it can enter the field smoothly and reap the fruits of victory.
However, things didn't go the way she thought, more than half of the humans who wanted to kill were left, and the target was intact to retain its combat effectiveness to the greatest extent, and even it had to admit that the humans were doing better than it thought, so much so that it had to spend a little more time and mobilize more guard bugs that could manipulate energy.
Although these insects that are simply engaged in combat are also controlled by it, their combat power is much stronger than its body, and with these guards, it dares to appear in front of humans with confidence, because it is certain that the insects with the most combat effectiveness in these races can definitely suppress these humans and not let its body be harmed.
However, to its surprise, the other party did not rest for long before setting off again, and when the monitor sent back the image, it actually felt angry and anxious for the first time since inheriting the consciousness of the race. It did destroy the escape path of the human race, but the base of the soul clan is very strong, with a few bugs, even if it is itself, it cannot cause substantial damage at all, if it can't arrive in time, when these humans repair the equipment, it really escapes under its nose, then the preparations it made before will simply become a joke.
This must not be allowed to happen.
As a result, the queen had to delay their actions by letting the Guards Mantis, who had infiltrated the base beforehand, attack first. However, what I didn't expect was that the praying mantis, which would change its body color and be perfectly consistent with the environment, actually pulled it out in a few seconds, and as soon as it saw the bug, the other party reacted that it was planning behind it, forcing it to come forward in person to delay time.
If the other party had guessed their plan and repaired the equipment as quickly as possible, the equipment would have been almost repaired by now, so that as long as they could withstand the pressure for a few minutes, they might be able to escape a few. Fortunately, the other party was fooled again, and actually cooperated with their own procrastination, in order not to be discovered by their own small actions, the action of repairing the equipment is very hidden and slow, and I should really thank the human beings for their own cleverness, making up for the loopholes in their plans, and giving themselves plenty of time.
"So, I really owe it to you, what's your name, pronounced in the language of your world, Shuer, right? The shadows in the darkness moved slowly, but the slower they were, the stronger the psychological pressure became, "I'll remember the name, to be exact, I'll remember your names, I respect the enemy very much, well, congratulations, I already have the qualifications to make me see you as an enemy." β
"Hurry up, keep repairing, and leave this side alone. Shure waved his hand, and the high-ranking mercenaries other than Yuri lined up in a semicircle, protecting the non-combatants in the circle, and also protecting Yuri, who was doing his best.
Everyone is still willing to accept Shuer's command, because everyone knows that Shuer has not done anything wrong, but only lost when they plotted with each other. No one can guarantee eternal victory, and since the matter has come to this point, there is no point in discussing who is right and who is wrong, what we need to do now is to let go of the constraints and confront each other head-on, and no longer care about anything else. Not only did he not blame Xiu'er, but everyone even thanked him in their hearts, fortunately he was careful enough to let everyone retain enough physical strength and energy, otherwise if he squandered his energy outside to save a few more people, he would really have no power to resist now.
"You, no, you, why do you have to target us?" It is not so much that Xiu'er is still stalling for time, but rather asking everyone's thoughts, the Zerg Queen is too persistent, far more than the normal act of expelling the invaders, and if you don't figure out the reason, everyone will not be able to do it even if they die.
"I said it a long time ago, in order to taste the fruits of victory. The sweet sound was enough to make people think, but unfortunately, there was no room for reverie at this time, because a few shadows finally broke through the darkness and walked into the light source.
The first to come out of the shadows was six insects about the same size as humans, including the praying mantis just now, and in terms of appearance, there were only four of them that everyone could identify, a praying mantis, a cockroach, a larger monster snake and a scorpion, as for the other beetle with more than a dozen venomous tentacles on its back and a strange creature covered by a heavy carapace on its back and a huge mouth about the size of its body on its abdomen, which was enough to swallow a person in one bite, everyone had never even heard of it, maybe it was a native bugγ
The size of the body is not terrible, and the degree of weirdness does not matter to high-level mercenaries, what is really terrifying is the energy reaction in their bodies, the energy reaction in the body of each insect is stronger than that of high-level mercenaries, it is indeed the strength of the golden peak half a foot has stepped into the legend, and a creature of such strength is hostile, saying that it will fall into a bitter battle, I am afraid it is a compliment to myself.
Moreover, they can perfectly hide their own energy, and everyone does not perceive it in advance, until the energy hiding is canceled face-to-face, and everyone feels that they feel the strength of the enemy.
"That's my guard, overwhelming, you don't have any chances. I think you better give up resistance, I won't make you too painful. The voice was still sweet, as if a gentle lover was whispering in her ear, but when the queen appeared, everyone felt the gap from the kingdom of God to the underworld.
The last thing that appeared was a behemoth, a giant worm more than ten meters long, the flesh-colored translucent skin seemed to be a swollen corpse soaked in water, and there were a large number of cyan blood vessels on the surface of the body, and green blisters continued to emerge from the mucus all over the surface of the body, which was the air hole on the surface of the body breathing, and the head could be distinguished, because the tip of the head was a huge mouth, and there were countless sharp teeth in the mouth, which were arranged inward in a spiral circle, and the sharp teeth continued to rub with the movement of the muscles, like a meat grinder.
Such a beautiful sound, actually from such an ugly and terrifying worm, recall the fantasy in his mind when he first heard the sound, although he was in a trap, the people in the team were about to vomit, among them, Dark's urge to vomit was the strongest, and I don't know what he had just fantasized.
The worm does not move on its own, perhaps because it is too thick and incapacitated, and under it there are hundreds of worker bees, that is, insects that Shur forcibly named as porters, lifting its body to move,
"That's it. Moria exclaimed in a low voice, "This is the worm I saw that day." β
"No wonder. Shuer stared closely in the direction of the queen, Wei said that this thing is good at soul attacks, and it must be able to find herself and Moria, also because the souls of the two make each other feel abnormal, not to see through their invisibility.
However, more concerned than this queen, Shul was more concerned about the other creature on the back of the worker bee, one of the missing people who was still in the team not long ago, and finally disappeared quietly in the artificial fog, everyone thought that he was the same as everyone else, died under the attack of the bugs, but he did not expect to be alive, but fell into a coma. Fortunately, he was unconscious, otherwise he would have regretted why he woke up.
"The humans of this world rely on machines, the soul race relies on will, and the control of combat energy, and other races also have their own ways, and I, or we, rely solely on physical combat, and use energy only by relying on mutants that may be born in evolution, such as these guards. The disgusting worm let out a sweet female voice, "Maybe this way can allow us to conquer a few galaxies and a few star regions, but it can't support us to devour the entire universe or even the ancient gods, if we can all control the energy with just the flesh like these guards, the goal will be easy to achieve." β
"I see. Shuer had already figured it out, his face was ugly, "The eight of us can all use our physical bodies to manipulate energy, and we know how to do this, so it has become your target, and you need our ...... Memory?"
"Your memory, your knowledge, this is what I need the most, maybe the rules of the two worlds are different, but there is still something to learn from. I've tried other people's memories too, what you call scholars, craftsmen, low-level mercenaries? It's unpalatable, it's so unpalatable, it's as unpalatable as this one. β
As she made a sound, the queen opened her big mouth, and in her mouth full of teeth, a hollow spike suddenly popped out, piercing the skull of the craftsman in front of her without hindrance. Luckily, the craftsman was in a coma and didn't know anything, but unfortunately, there was a white liquid flowing in the translucent spikes, and it was clear that the queen was tasting his brain, which it used to access human memories in this way, in addition to the brain control worm.
"It's fixed. The queen was eating in disgust, and Yuri suddenly let out a cheer, "Come here, turn the rocker with me." β
"Oh, naΓ―ve, do you think I cooperated with your explanation to give you a chance? It's a pity, you are ready, and I am ready. β
"Alarm, alarm. Wei's familiar mechanical voice sounded in the bracelet, "A twelfth-level psionic reaction has been detected, please avoid it immediately." β
