136 The Queen Mother Worm Who Opened Her Mouth!
Yang Luo had seen various forms of the Space Zerg in the "Abyss" game, but he had never had such complex emotions as today.
I used to think it was a game.
Now I found out that it was probably a galactic civilization simulator!
Hera has managed to enter the underground base.
Because Nardor was guarding his daughter, the staff of the security system, Hera was not too strict.
When they asked Hera to hand over the backpack, Hera kept tugging at the strap of the backpack and allowed them to use various means to inspect the inside and outside of the backpack, as well as the various documents and files in the backpack.
There was nothing unusual about the backpack itself.
According to Ritsu, what can really affect Hera is the weak biological factor that Yang Luo left on the backpack.
In layman's terms, it's smell.
After passing through security, Hera and her father got into a hovering car, and there were several security gates in front of them.
Yang Luo waited quietly;
Waiting for the moment when the real Zerg will appear before his eyes.
He has tried to recall the information about the Zerg in "The Abyss" many times in the past few days.
If you think of part of the background of the Abyss game, you can think of it as a chronicle for the next twenty-eight years of this galaxy.
One of the larger Zerg events was that in 731 of the Imperial New Calendar, six years after Yang Luo's time, a small-scale insect plague broke out in the Sherman Empire without warning, and in the following ten years, there was a series of second disasters that were the worst in the history of the Sherman Empire.
Yang Luo didn't pay much attention to this matter before.
That's still a long way off.
The active cycle of the space zerg exists for hundreds of years, and now this point in time should belong to the period of low incidence of insect plagues, and all countries have relaxed their vigilance against space zergs, and the insect plague index promulgated by relevant international organizations has always been at the lowest level.
Everyone's attention is also on the multi-level hegemony generated by the rapid rise of the new federation.
No one would expect bugs to appear out of nowhere, and no one would give an early warning of insects.
But who would have thought.
Under the tranquil Ram Star, there is a base for the study of space zergs, and the new federation has long been laid out, and it wants to use the insect plague to cause a comprehensive decline in the national strength of the Sherman Empire.
Bugs have become political tools.
The taxi was making a long circle around the area where the base was located.
Yang Luo closed his eyes and waited quietly for a few minutes.
"There are photos of the boss!"
As soon as Li's words fell, several photos immediately popped up on the projection screen in front of Yang Luo's eyes.
It was a transparent lab located near the entrance to the base.
Several bugs in their basic form were clinging to the ground as if they were dead, their bodies wrapped in dense probes and coils, and at least ten laser cannons aimed at their heads and torsos.
Several men and women who are conducting experimental operations through special glass are recording data one by one.
In Yang's view, the basic form of the insect resembles a combination of a 'crab' and a 'praying mantis', with a light red hard shell, sharp blades, a triangular head, and a belly that shimmers with a faint light.
These bugs should be second-order or third-order basic worms.
They have a structure that resembles a ladybug carapace behind them, and two pairs of thin wings that can vibrate at high speeds, allowing them to fly quickly.
"Boss, your brain waves are starting to look abnormal."
Lil reminds softly.
"I'm a little eager to fight now," Yang Luo said in a low voice, "This should be the ancient god's instinct influencing me, don't worry." ”
"Boss," Ritsu said, "you can actually return to the Fei Nan now." ”
"Wait a little longer," Yang Luo said, "If everything goes well on Hera's side, we'll verify how these bugs will react if I appear above the base." ”
"Yes boss, this is necessary."
Ritsu whispered yes.
She seemed to be in a good mood.
More and more photos appeared in front of Yang Luo, and Ritsu simultaneously drew an 'estimated overlook map' of the underground base.
The structure of the entire underground base is like a Ferris wheel that has been put down.
In the center of the base is the circular space where the Queen's giant petri dish is located, with this as the center, and the passages spread in all directions, connecting to various laboratories, hatcheries, and armament rooms.
The experimenters live in a separate underground space, completely isolated from the area where the Zerg are located.
Inferred from the details of several pictures:
The interior of the base is also full of security doors, and in the event of an emergency in an area, the area will be quickly isolated;
The interior of the base is full of high-tech machinery, the walls are densely packed with laser cannons, and there are many types and numbers of mechanical guards, who are responsible for guarding and directly contacting insects to reduce the wear and tear of experimenters during the experiment.
Ritsu whispered:
"Boss, if we want to take this place, we can use these robots."
"However, the robot systems here are very well developed, and it takes some time to prepare for them to control them remotely."
"Luofeng's military level of science and technology is nearly half a civilization level behind the new federation."
"Law, try to avoid the war," Yang Luo said indifferently, "All we want is information, if we expose our identities here, I am afraid that we will be hunted down to the ends of the earth by the new Federation." ”
New photos keep popping up.
Nardo and Professor Pat appear in the photograph, and they appear to be arguing, while Hera stands by and watches coldly.
Yang Luo frowned and asked, "Ritsu, can I hear what they are saying?" ”
"I need to work on the audio a little bit."
As soon as Li's words fell, the argument over there reached Yang Luo's ears.
The older voice belongs to Professor Pat, and his standard Federalist appearance can be seen in the photo, with a broad forehead, a high nose, and deep eye sockets.
The perennial scientific research work has made the old man a little depressed, but the magnitude of the failure is far less than that of Dr. Naldo, who is still middle-aged.
Professor Pat was talking, unhappy with Hera's reappearance:
"This is not an ordinary experimental project, Naldo, I know that you love your daughter and don't know how to educate your children, but in this laboratory that is related to the fortunes of our country, I can't let your father and daughter mess around."
Nardo argued: "Professor, you can take a look, Hera's research is definitely meaningful!"
"I'm not interested in how they communicate right now, and even if you know, can you stop it? Is there really a way to interfere? We've already done this for a long time!"
Professor Pat's voice grew higher and higher-pitched:
"Clarity, Naldo, what the hell are we doing now! We are artificially controlling the natural disasters, and we are going to use the filthy bugs to achieve even dirtier political ends!"
"Your daughter didn't have to get involved in this anymore, we have set her free!"
Freely! Do you understand? How precious this thing is! You know how many people were eliminated because of what happened eight years ago!
"Just because of her ridiculous, White Lotus-like values!"
Professor!" Naldo excitedly said, "You can't blame her for things!" We're all responsible for that!"
Hera suddenly spoke: "Father, the professor is right. ”
Pat and Naldo were silent at the same time.
Hera said indifferently:
"Today, our country and the Sherman Empire are on the verge of war."
"In the past few thousand years, all countries that could threaten the hegemony of the Sherman Empire were eventually destroyed by the cannons of the Sherman Invincible Ship Regiment."
"There is no equilibrium between the galaxies, this is the philosophy that the Sherman military adheres to, and they want their people to become the best human race in the galaxy, this is their internal propaganda slogan."
We will have a war with them.
"Now that I recognize the problems of the past, please allow me to participate in your experiments again, it is not unseemly that the Zerg we have cultivated can die in place of our warriors."
"The interests of the country are above all else."
Nardo asked in a trembling voice, "Hera?" ”
"I've lost most of my feelings because of the amnestic surgery," Hera said indifferently, "so I only have reason now, and I can keep my mind calm." ”
Professor Pat asked, "What do you think is the significance of your research?" ”
"If we study the means of communication between Zerg individuals thoroughly, we may be able to give orders directly to them."
Hera seemed to be prepared, and replied extremely quickly:
As you should have realized, the Zerg is based on the Queen's brain, and has built a network with the entire race, and the high-level Zerg even have the ability to communicate across airspace.
Communication and engines are the foundation of everything.
"The importance of my work is second only to the infinite reproduction of the two queens and the individual reproduction of the queens."
"It's kind of interesting."
Professor Pat's voice became extremely deep:
"You know what you're talking about, right? This road goes forward, there is only sin, there is no salvation, you will end up with a name, and there will be no honor after death. ”
Hera said: "Yes professor, I need this opportunity, this is my full paper, although it is very long, I recommend that you read it carefully. ”
Still in the cab in a circle.
Yang Luo pondered carefully.
Yang Luo was a little confused about what Hera's true intentions were.
She's going back to do research? Or is it really to stop this evil plan?
According to Yang Luo's judgment, Hera should have deliberately mentioned the 'national interest' set of rhetoric.
Yes, she's trying to add credibility to this [intelligence].
Ritsu reminded: "Boss, with this recording, with these photos, as well as the internal structure of the underground base we calculated, it can already cause a sensation. ”
Yang Luo asked, "Is this information enough?" ”
"The one to give to Sherman is almost enough, and if you can learn more about the Zerg, it will definitely be valuable."
The law quickly announced:
"We can only send this information to some ministers and elders, and it is difficult to send it directly to the powerful dukes and emperors of the Sherman Empire."
"If we can get a planet where the new federation hides insect eggs in the territory of the Sherman Empire, and directly find the eggs in the territory of the Sherman Empire, things will be much easier."
"Sherman's all-out war with the New Federation is an excellent opportunity for both Falling Wind and Darkstar."
Yang Luo smiled and shook his head.
This is really, the ingenuity is not enough to swallow the elephant.
Trying to get the top-secret map of the distribution of insect eggs through Hera is tantamount to wishful thinking.
Professor Pat: They must be keeping a close eye on Hera.
Even, most likely, there won't be that map, Professor Pat is only responsible for cultivating the eggs, and the rest can be left to the CIA's intelligence forces.
Photos keep coming out.
Hera was taken into a break room, where she was asked to change her clothes, and she was asked to wash herself under the supervision of a female researcher, disinfect herself, and change the clothes equipped with the institute.
Without Dr. Naldo by her side, Hera couldn't continue to be 'tough'.
The female researcher reminded: "Please throw away your contact lenses immediately, this is the rule here, and we will equip you with a new one as soon as possible." ”
"There's no human rights here," Hera whispered.
"Please don't blame me," the female researcher said apologetically.
Hera was the first to throw away the contact lenses.
Obviously, the picture of her taking a shower and disinfecting her whole body will not be directly watched by Yang Luo.
Yang Luo continued to wait.
Based on his initial knowledge of Hera's personality, he felt that Hera would most likely activate a backup plan to gather more information.
Sure enough.
About ten minutes later.
The new photo appears again, the pixels have been improved a lot, and the picture can be directly coherent like a video after the frame has been drawn.
Hera was retching as she lay in front of the bathroom mirror, and there was no Overseer behind her.
She was wearing a small vest and tight shorts, and her left hand was still clutching the backpack Yang Luo had given her.
The backpack contains all kinds of materials she has stored, and she has always been with this backpack on the grounds that only she can handle these materials.
Even if it was wetting the corner at the moment, Hera didn't let go of it.
The elastic hairpin was pinned in her thick hair, and even if you looked closely, it was difficult to find its traces.
Yang Luo said with emotion: "She really didn't give up, and she will continue to update the information." ”
"Boss, while this is good for us, beware of her sudden betrayal of Agent Ali."
"Ritsu, her eyes are very determined, I think I can trust her."
Yang Luodao:
"Let's see how many surprises she can give us. As soon as we are sure that she will not be able to get any more information, we will leave immediately. ”
"Okay, boss."
In the 'cassette video' that came back, Hera picked up two other ordinary hairpins to cover up.
She stomped her backpack under her feet, picked up her clothes and dressed them neatly, and finally put on her white coat, slung it over her shoulder, and left the lounge.
For the next half hour, Hera spent the next half hour preparing in the lab assigned to her.
Yang Luo could feel that Hera was gradually losing patience, and she took the initiative to contact Naldo.
Naldo hurried over, with a stack of papers in his hand, trying his best to express his kindness: "What's the matter?" How can I help? ”
Hera made a clearly unreasonable request: "Father, I want to see it. ”
"It? Who? ”
"Queen Mother."
"Are you crazy?"
Naldo's eyes widened, and he subconsciously looked left and right: "You stay here honestly now, don't run around anywhere!"
"But Daddy," Hera whispered, "something has happened to me, and I have to figure out how it works, and find a way to stop it from happening, and that's the second purpose of my here." ”
Hearing this, the law in the Feinan and Yang Luo in the taxi were all stunned.
Hera's other motivation for doing this is now clear.
"Boss, she should know that it was the Queen Mother Worm who controlled her before."
Yang Luo smiled: "I like her character. ”
In the video', Naldo's greeting was heard: "What's the matter? Hera, you have to tell me the truth, what the hell is wrong with you, my daughter? ”
"Father, can I trust you?"
"I'm even willing to give my life for you!" "Of course, I'm going to save my life to finish the task I haven't done." ”
The corners of Hera's mouth twitched slightly.
She looked at the backpack in front of her and quickly decided, "If I look strange, you can stuff the backpack into my arms, remember, Dad, you must do this." ”
"Okay, I understand."
Naldo grabbed the backpack with both hands, and Hera slowly loosened the straps of the backpack.
She waited quietly for a few seconds, then slowly took a step back.
Suddenly!
Her breathing began to wander, her eyes flashed with a pale green light, and her eyes became extremely cold.
Nardor was covered in cold hairs that stood on end.
He had been dealing with bugs for so many years, how could he not tell that Naldo immediately pounced and pressed his backpack against Hera's chest!
Hera's emaciated body suddenly jumped to the side, slammed to the ground, and ran and crawled towards the door of the laboratory.
"Hera! Hera!"
Naldo scrambled after him, not forgetting to ring the alarm bells he could find everywhere.
In a taxi.
"Boss! Hera's brainwaves are strange, and she's connected to the swarm!"
Yang Luo scolded: "Naldo, this waste! Is it hard to throw a backpack over? ”
In the video footage, Hera is seen running forward, rushing in the direction of the Queen's petri dish.
Naldo, though a little slower to react, was not too stupid and immediately shouted for the mechanical guards to stop Hera.
The scene was chaotic for a while.
After a brief chase, Hera was pinned to the ground by two mechanical guards, with multiple contusions on her body, and Professor Pat had already rushed over when he heard the news, because he was closer, Pat reached Hera's side more quickly than Naldo.
"What's wrong with Hera? Naldo!"
"She, She's Suddenly"
Pat shouted in a trembling voice, "The light in her eyes is the light of the worm!" Damn it! Naldo! What have you done to your daughter!"
"I didn't do anything! She's my only treasure, how could I hurt her! Hera! Hera, what's wrong with you!"
"Shut up! What is she talking about?"
Professor Pat yelled, and the hallway fell silent for a moment.
Under the faint sound of the mechanical guard's engine, Hera's lips opened and closed slightly, her eyes glowed green, and she said something:
"Human"
Mankind?
This is not it!
Professor Pat subconsciously crouched down, his ear close to Hera's lips.
"Let it go...... I...... Leave...... Open...... Yes...... Blame...... ...... object"
In a taxi.
Yang Luo's forehead was covered with black lines.
What a deal!
What's the situation?
Didn't the Zerg never communicate with humans?
"Boss," Ritsu reminded, "evacuate now?" It's unusual that this insect can communicate with humans. ”
Yang Luo thought for a few seconds and immediately ordered:
"Lil, turn on the particle conveyor."
"Getting the taxi to an area close to the base is now our only chance to see how the bugs react to me!"
"You decide when to pick me up, the Fei Nan is fully on standby, ready for continuous jumps!"
"Yes!"
