Chapter Eighty-Three: A False Alarm
Zhang Bowen, who was disguised as a mutant, saw the two giant ships, and his chest was unusually suffocated. If the two migrant boats did not have time to escape, it would represent the complete loss of 100 million people.
Zhang Wen continued to imitate the way the mutant walked, staggering forward, and now he was sure that the voice calling for him was coming from the Hercules migrant ship ahead.
After swaying for a block again, the density of alien insects became significantly larger, and with each step of the line, new jumping insects could be seen in the field of vision, and some even passed by.
At this moment, Zhang Wen suddenly stopped, and inadvertently, seven or eight jumping insects had already surrounded him, blocking the way forward, and the jumping insects on the side and back also began to move towards this side, and the stinging snake in the shadows in the distance also aimed here with its killer gaze.
The feeling of being on the back of the man instantly spread all over the body, and cold sweat was left along the sideburns, and the whole body was already soaked in a moment.
"It's over......"
Zhang Wen regretted it very much at the moment, he was too careless, the previous few hours were smooth, causing him to habitually feel that he could use this method to smash Huanglong and reach his destination.
The nail gun in his hand, which was covered with minced meat and reticuloma, had been raised slightly, his body was slightly sideways, and the trigger of his fingertips was pulled at any time, and he was ready for the last fight.
Unfortunately, he received a voice from Nelly yesterday, and her voice was so helpless, and her words were full of love. However, he did not reply to the message, and in the control area of the insects, for the sake of the mission and the safety of his life, he could only cut off all communications, and even all other equipment except for the air purification and sanitation system had been turned off.
"Awen, I don't know if you can see this message, I know, even if you do, you may not be able to reply. If you don't reply, safety first. Seven days have passed, and the Hyperion is ready and will be waiting for us in space in three days. ”
"Awen, for more than a year, we have been together day and night, training together, eating together, studying together, resting together....... I really miss those days, although it was hard, but there were no troubles. Awen, do you know? It was my happiest day, I can help you, watching you grow, I have a super sense of accomplishment, hehe, I'm still very competent as a captain and teacher. ”
"Arwen, actually...... , I have always been very optimistic about you, even if you are so ordinary, and even a little backward at the beginning. But I trust my instincts, and I see the extraordinary behind your ordinary. I was right, you are brave, tenacious, humble, and wise. The longer you are in contact, the more you can find your shining point, and even be ...... by you Deeply intrigued. That's right, I'm fascinated by you,......"
"Colonel Kerrigan is an excellent woman, she is so attractive, and I have great admiration and affection for her. Therefore, even if there is a glimmer of hope, she must be released. It's a pity that we can't fight with you anymore, but we will pray and watch for you. Zhang Bowen, you must succeed, we will always wait for you, if you can't return at the appointed time, we will wait for you in space. ”
"Zhang Wen, I'...... Love you...... Waiting for your return. ”
The affectionate words echoed in his mind, making Zhang Wen's heart ache, he regretted not replying as soon as he received the voice, he regretted not leaving everything to return to meet him, and now, everything is too late.
"Nelly, I'm sorry. ”
The jumping worm's hook and claw have been raised, his sharp eyes, and his hideous mouthparts have begun to push him to leak out of his fangs, the bone spurs on his back are raised high, and the cicada wings are spread, launching a fierce attack at any time.
Back off.
The powerful momentum made Zhang Wen couldn't help but take a step back, and the instinctive rotation of his body allowed his arms to meet the most violent attack, which was completely a defensive reflection of instinct.
But......
"Huh......"
The jumping insect that wanted to try to attack was actually slightly shaped, and the cicada wings were slightly retracted.
Retreat.
Turn around.
Hiss......
The bodies of those jumping insects actually stood up straight, the cicada wings were completely folded, and their mouths hissed.
Walk......
As Zhang Wen turned slowly, the swords-rattling jumping insects began to calm down.
"I see, it looks like the deviants can't enter that area. ”
Zhang Wen retreated nearly a hundred meters, went around behind a large pile of rubble, and seeing that no insects noticed him, he flashed into the crack in the rubble, and continued to hide in an abandoned building.
It's almost dawn, and he doesn't have the ability to drill into the ground like a mutant, and he will be allowed to wear a goof.
On the ninth day, judging from the time, Zhang Wen definitely couldn't go back in time, and since this was the case, he simply didn't reply to Nelly's message. If he really died here, then it would just disappear quietly, why make waves again? If there is hope of completing the task, then it is even more impossible to contact now, once the signal is tracked by the alien insects, it will be a waste of all the previous efforts.
The sun finally rose, and the crisp morning was refreshing, but the stench floating in the air and the surrounding ruins ruined the beautiful morning light.
Looking out through the cracks in the broken walls of the building, I didn't see any mutants, but there were insects everywhere. Through the light purple light curtain, the Hercules was clearly visible in the distance, and the huge silver-gray hull was covered with purple-brown mottles, and it was obvious that it was also "infected" by the bacterial tumors of the alien insects.
"Well, the light curtain, the purple light curtain?"
Zhang Wen immediately concentrated and carefully observed, where did these purple light curtains come from?
Starting from an area a hundred meters away, it stretched to the back of the huge migrant ship, all covered in a faint mist, which was illuminated by the early morning sun and turned into a lilac, which looked like a curtain of light from a distance.
The fog thinner it got, and it seems that the source of its production is near the migrant boat.
"Analyze the air composition. ”
Zhang Wen had a feeling that this fog might not be simple, so he immediately used the air filtration equipment of the mecha to identify the air.
Bite!
A string of data appeared on the mask, and when I looked closely, it was not true. In addition to the original air composition, there are a large number of dust particles in the air, and the density is very large.
"I see, this is an infectious germ?"
Infected spores, formerly known as infected spores, are a mysterious spore virus emitted by alien insects, which is airborne, highly contagious, and extremely dangerous.
The Federation only knows a little bit about this virus, and only knows that the terrible virus was released by the Zerg, and other details may involve secrets, which is not something that a soldier like Zhang Bowen can understand. This only little consultation was also heard in the interstellar battle class in the boot camp, because it was only a short sentence, and it didn't pay much attention. Unexpectedly, I actually met it here.
