Chapter 18: Surrender and Revolt
"Call everybody!"
The Scorpion Thief drew squares, circles, ellipses, triangles, and other icons in a clearing, which were the blueprints he had stolen from the human base, which were classified documents on the Doctor's computer.
And their names were after the 8 scorpions regathered, and they discussed the name, and they originally had no names, so they gave themselves a name, because the scorpion thieves said that the king must be respected, so they should have a unique name. In addition to their boss Scorpion Thief is strong, according to their ability, they take Scorpion Thief One, Scorpion Thief Two, and Scorpion Thief Seven.
Soon the clearing to the north of the cage was filled with scorpions. It took a lot of effort to gather this group of scorpions.
"Today, our boss Scorpion Thief is going to announce a big event to you here! Although you don't have a high IQ, you must remember this matter! Now I would like to invite our boss scorpion thief to speak on stage, and everyone is warmly welcome. ”
The Scorpion Thieves used impassioned words to lure out their boss, the Scorpion Thief. However, the sound of applause did not come out, and the scene fell into embarrassment.
At this time, the scorpion group was full of dissatisfaction and fear, these bad scorpions who had been robbing them since birth, they were very resentful, how could they have the heart to applaud.
"Thief one, what should I do, they refuse to cooperate, wait for the boss to get angry, and we have to be dragged by him to be used as scorpion meat sandbags."
"Look at me!"
As soon as the scorpion thief squeezed into the scorpion group, the scorpion group soon burst into applause, and it was very enthusiastic, as if they were applauding their loved ones.
"Thief One, you're using your power again!!"
Where the scorpion thieves passed, those second-order scorpions were only stunned for a second, and then began to applaud desperately, even if the two little scorpion pincers were in pain because of the applause.
This is the ability that Scorpion Thief has obtained after completing the upgrade with the help of the doctor - "Nightmare", which can edit a dream for a short time, and if the editing is good, it will make the recruiter immersive, unable to distinguish between reality and dreams, and if it is controlled properly, it can even brainwash the enemy. It can be said that it is a very powerful skill.
"Thief two, you go and take a look, don't let him run out."
The boss took a look and knew that it was the scorpion thief who was doing the trick.
The way of using Scorpion Thief One is very simple, it takes advantage of the herd effect, as long as some scorpions who are more resistant are brainwashed, as long as they applaud, the surrounding scorpions will also imitate. However, it does not have the ability to brainwash, and can only edit some more beautiful dreams to induce scorpions, so as to achieve the effect of brainwashing other scorpions.
However, this ability is very expensive, and not everyone can control it. That's why the scorpion thief will let his subordinates watch it, and it doesn't want to have an accident with its own right-hand man.
The applause stopped, and the scorpion thief began to speak, regardless of whether the group of scorpions could understand it or not.
"There is only one sentence I said, you give me a firm memory, I will be the king of all of you, you have to work for me, as for why, it is because I am strong enough!"
The Scorpion Thief Qiang's voice was very loud, and the sonorous and powerful short sentences shocked the second-order scorpions below. Even if they didn't understand the content of the scorpion thief's strong words, they could feel the oppression formed by a powerful force in these words.
Soon a scorpion couldn't stand it, it chose to give in, 6 pairs of long legs bent slightly, and then the whole scorpion prostrate on the ground, indicating submission.
Then the second, the third, the fourth...... Nearly half of the scorpions were prostrate on the ground, a ritual of submission imprinted in the depths of the scorpions' minds, and they were impressed by the scorpion thieves' strong abilities.
However, only nearly half of the scorpions chose to surrender, saying that these 81 scorpions were taken away from the scorpion group, and the remaining 80 or so scorpions looked around helplessly.
They all understood the importance of that etiquette, so they didn't want to surrender right away. Or rather, these robber scorpions are not worthy of their submission.
"Since this is easy, let these who don't surrender let them do coolies, and these surrenders will be trained by a few of you! I want an elite troop. ”
The Scorpion Thief saw the two options of the scorpions, and although it expected all the scorpions to surrender did not appear, it had barely met its expectations.
The Scorpion Bandit Qiang quickly assigned the task, and in short, these robber scorpions wanted to train an army of their own. Because he was in the doctor's research room, the video played made the scorpion thief afraid and yearn for the powerful military ability of the human being. So much so that it also gave birth to the idea of wanting an army. Now it's a chance to do something.
The 81 scorpions were divided into a 9*9 queue, except for the scorpion thief one, the scorpion thief two, and the two second-order scorpion thieves Liu, the scorpion thief seven, stayed to deal with this group of unconvinced scorpions, and the other scorpions went to train the army.
"Second thief, I'll take some scorpions to dig some stones on the north side of the mountain wall to make tools, and you let the other scorpions investigate the approximate location of the fortress first."
"Then thief, be careful, these scorpions have the heart to resist after all. If there is an emergency, use this set of mechanical equipment first, your ability is too strong, it is better not to use it indiscriminately! ”
"I know. If there is danger, I will have a signal. ”
Most of the remaining scorpions were taken away, although they promised to do so, but the Scorpion Thief One still used his ability, and it controlled several stronger scorpions, so that they kept appearing in their minds to protect the information of the Scorpion Thief One. As a scorpion with a high IQ, it doesn't take risks easily.
They didn't know that among the rebels, there were several scorpions that were Zhen Meili's subordinates and members of Zhen Meili's sales team. When Zhen Meili first selected the members of the sales team, she specially selected some scorpions with a high IQ, and on the surface, she sold "high-temperature roasted worms" to exchange for energy milk blocks of other scorpions, but behind the scenes, Zhen Meili cultivated them as a secret whistle to collect intelligence. So the conversation of these robber scorpions has been remembered by them. In the event of a riot, they take the opportunity to flee and transmit the message back.
The north side of the dungeon is against the wall, which is made of hard stone, and it is most convenient to dig a hole from this area if you want to escape, so this area is also covered by numerous hidden, unconcealed cameras. For example, Zhen Meili was found cutting grass in this area before.
The Scorpion Thief aimed his mechanical pincers at the rock wall.
There was a loud "boom".
Cracks in the rocks were like spider webs, and when they were struck, the stones fell, and stones of various sizes were used to build their forts.
"Move the stones!"
Under the command of Scorpion Thief One, the scorpions began to carry stones of different sizes and transported them to the open space to the north, where they could be perfectly fitted as long as they were processed and cut, and the stones could be stacked into walls.
