Crisp switching sound.

Rows of incandescent lights on the top of the lab are lit one after another.

Two researchers in hazmat suits enter the door pushing a lump of flesh soaked in a light green nutrient solution and covered in neural networks.

The "meat ball" comes from a worm found in the Nature Research Institute, and is considered its "brain", but this brain is not intended for it.

It may sound strange to say this, but the worm is really just a carrier.

It's like a computer or a communication device that connects the mind, and it doesn't have any will of its own.

That's the crux of the research!

As long as you have the password and how to activate it, anyone can use this "computer".

At this time, outside the glass wall on one side of the laboratory, many people have gathered to watch the experiment.

In addition to the original scientific research personnel of the institute, there are also high-level officials of the Special Affairs Bureau, as well as Yan Jing and Yu Zhen who have just arrived.

Yan Jing originally promised to take Xiaolian to the Fengjiang River at night tonight.

As a result, in the evening, because of a message from the Special Affairs Bureau, saying that there was a breakthrough in the experiment, in order to complete the verbal task left by Di Jun before, Yan Jing could only send Xiaolian back to Shanqing University first, and she was also hit twice on the head for this.

Yu Zhen is particularly concerned about this matter because the hive is involved in the research institute of Sankyung University.

Of course, as a scholar, it would be a lie to say that she wasn't interested in the qualities of this new swarm.

At present, the laboratory they are in is not in the Jiuke air-raid shelter, but in the Fu'an Mountains around Shanqing City, and belongs to one of the research institutions that the Special Affairs Bureau has just completed construction.

"Our guys have been testing passwords, or radio channels, for the last few days, and if they can find a band connected to the brood nest, they will be able to receive the message."

Not long ago, Wu Senyan, who had already obtained some of the experimental materials, put his arms on his chest and briefly explained the principle to Yan Jing, who had just stood next to him.

"Even if it's just for a few seconds, as long as we can get valuable information, we have a chance to reverse the location of the brood nest."

"It seems that your search operation in the Qiannan Nature Reserve did not go well?"

Yan Jing looked at the researchers who were making various preparations around the worm brains in the tank, and asked bluntly.

"That's right, in order to find the hive, this week we used almost all the means we could use, drones, reconnaissance planes and even satellite accurate scanning, but we didn't find anything except many exotic flowers and plants in the Qiannan Nature Reserve."

Talking about this, the frustration on Wu Senyan's face was not hidden, if they could lock the location of the insect nest, where would they expect to make a breakthrough in the experiment here.

You must know that every day wasted will make the swarm brood stronger, and the price it will have to pay to solve it will also increase.

However, the fact that the sudden appearance of the insect swarm was able to hide a hatching nest with a diameter of several hundred meters in the sky above Shanqing City was enough to prove how strong its dormant ability was.

If it hadn't been for Yan Jing's accidental discovery, they didn't know how long they would have been kept in the dark.

It is not easy to search it out of the tens of thousands of square kilometers of Qiannan Nature Reserve in a short period of time.

"According to what is written in the experiment report...... Who are you going to have trying to connect to the worm brain? ”

After flipping through a few pages of the experiment report, Yu Zhen couldn't help frowning and asked.

The premise that the previous professors were able to contact the brood with the help of worms was that they had become wormmen, and the minds of both sides had reached the same level to a certain extent, and if humans wanted to imitate them, even if they succeeded, they would have a high chance of mental problems.

However, other means cannot achieve this effect at all, and can only be carried out by people.

"Of course, let those who can no longer be called human, brutes are very suitable for this kind of work."

Wu Senyan looked at the researcher next to him, nodded, and signaled that the experiment could begin.

Moments later, on the other side of the lab, a man with shackles on both hands and feet was escorted in by two soldiers, followed by a member of the Secret Service, holding a puppet with silk threads attached to its limbs and head.

"Qian San, a specially wanted criminal, the leader of an overseas criminal group, after becoming an Ember Apostle, gathered a large number of thugs along the border of southern Jiangxi, burned, killed, and plundered, and used innocent people to practice his skills."

Wu Senyan briefly introduced the situation of the experimental question, and Yan Jing and Yu Zhen looked at the person inside, and their eyes suddenly became a little colder.

In this world, there are always some guys who don't like to be human beings and rush to be beasts.

Yan Jing and the others had all been trained in life and death in another world, and they did not have any mercy for this kind of existence, and only felt that it was really merciful for them to let them repay some of the sins they had created in the past before they died.

"Codename: Worm Mind."

"Experiment 017 is about to begin, the mental connection is complete, the subject restraint is complete, and the mind connection is ready."

"The experiment begins!"

As the orders were given one after another, Yan Jing took two steps forward, his gaze falling on the worm brain that suddenly began to tremble.

The neural network on its surface is pulled out by special devices and connected to some sucker-like components, which are attached to the criminal's body, which looks like a scene from a science fiction movie.

The emergence of the torch, especially the launch of smart machines, is making the world's science and technology leap forward.

Yan Jing had seen worms in the Natural Research Institute, and immediately realized that they were mimicking the way the professors connected to worms at the time.

The difference is that at that time, the biological energy of the worms was used to maintain the communication, but this time it was the machines from the Secret Service that were responsible for the energy.

The crowd held their breath as they stared at the criminal, whose limbs were tied to the bench.

After approximately two minutes, the subject began to tremble, blood hung from his nostrils, and he began to mumble words of unknown meaning accompanied by intermittent hissing sounds.

Faced with this situation, many researchers outside the laboratory were not only not disappointed, but their faces were full of joy, it was obvious that the experiment had been successful, and only when the two sides completed the connection would the criminals have this abnormal reaction.

At the same time, the member of the Secret Service who had followed him immediately walked up to the criminal with a puppet in his hand and began to ask him about the information he had obtained.

Needless to say, the puppet must be some kind of control prop, and it should be the effect of the same attribute as the shadow puppet in the Spirit Mask.

The whole process didn't last long, not that it stopped here, but that the criminal couldn't bear to communicate with the brood brood, and after only a minute, his mental state began to develop major problems.

What was once a healthy brain turned into a wilting mess of rotten flesh in the blink of an eye.

"It turns out that our idea is correct, as long as we master a specific band, we can forcibly connect to the mother nest of the insect swarm, obtain information on the other side, as long as we are given a little more time, we should be able to find out the specific location of the nest."

The researcher in charge of the "Worm Thinking" project trotted over from the side with the information he had just obtained, and said excitedly,

"The barrier between the worm brain and the human brain is not insurmountable, and we have grasped the key!"

"Did you find anything?"

Wu Senyan couldn't wait to ask, and the eyes of the others converged.

Not just him, but the entire Secret Service now desperately needed to know any information about the swarm brood.

"Subject 017 is performing synaesthesia...... That is, after the mental level is connected to the mother nest of the insect swarm, in the process of awakening, he mentions the claw-like mountains, the scarlet mist that covers the sky and the sun, and the monsters that are everywhere in the darkness! ”

What the researcher said was undoubtedly the key information extracted from the subject's mouth, after all, he was babbling a lot of things at the time, and many of them were crazy babbling.

It's just that this information alone is clearly not enough.

"I had just seen real-time satellite imagery of the Qiannan Nature Reserve before I came, and there was no scarlet mist at all..... However, the appearance of this mountain range can be used as a reference. ”

Any information about the mother nest of the insect swarm is worth verifying, Wu Senyan immediately looked at the deputy captain next to him,

"An Ling, immediately let people take pictures of all the mountains in the Qiannan Nature Reserve for pattern comparison, so that the scope should be greatly reduced."

The people of the Nine Branches discussed how to narrow down the search target.

Yu Zhen has a different opinion:

"The scarlet fog is not necessarily a real weather environment, and judging from the recent search of the Qiannan Nature Reserve by the Special Affairs Bureau, I suspect that this so-called 'fog' is very likely to be a means of self-protection for insect nests."

"Whatever it is, you have to speed up your search, monsters are everywhere in the dark...... The hive must have been bred with a large army of insects, and things like strange bird attacks must not happen again, otherwise you know how far those insects can go. ”

Yan Jing was still observing the test subject who had completely passed out, shook his head, and reminded in a muffled voice,

"The only option for ordinary people to encounter strange insects is to be slaughtered."

"This kind of experiment is expected to continue, and the information available so far is of limited help."

Now that he has found the opportunity to reverse trace the mother nest of the insect swarm, he naturally can't give up easily, Yu Zhen took out the notes he carried with him, habitually recorded some of the latest information on it, paused, and continued,

"I'm going to join the task force organized by the Special Affairs Bureau to survey various suspicious locations in the Qiannan Nature Reserve, are you interested in joining?"

"I'll go to the reserve to have a look, but if I have a clear goal, I have a friend who is very good at activities in the forest, and I will call him when the time comes, and you can contact me at any time if you find anything."

The friend in Yan Jing's mouth was naturally Miao Yingshi, and he had specifically mentioned the matter of the insect swarm to the latter in the past two days.

Miao Yingshi hated any existence that destroyed the ecological environment, so he did not hesitate to say that as long as the location was determined, Yan Jing could contact him at any time, and he would definitely come to "help" when the time came.

"Maybe I'...... What happened to you? ”

Yu Zhen was about to say something when he suddenly noticed that Yan Jing's face changed suddenly, and he couldn't help asking.

"I'll have to leave for a while, call on my phone."

Yan Jing, who came back to his senses, just walked out with his head bored.
