The hovering taxi sped down the farmland path toward its counterparts on the edge of the underground base.

The commotion in the base didn't last long, and when Naldo shoved the backpack into Hera's hands, the light in Hera's eyes quickly faded, and she lay on the ground panting.

Naldo immediately wanted to move forward and help Hera.

Professor Pat struck out and pinned Naldo against the wall, his sharp eyes piercing Naldo's face.

"What the hell is going on!"

If I knew what was going on, I wouldn't have let this backpack leave her body!" Naldo growled. ”

Pat stared at Naldo.

More figures in hazmat suits appeared in the hallway, peering in silence.

"It was the queen who influenced me."

Hera spoke suddenly.

Her petite body was pressed down by the mechanical guard's iron arm, and she looked very weak.

Hera said, "That's another purpose for me to come here, Professor, do you remember the experiment samples that I swallowed in my mouth during our conflict?" ”

Pat let go of Naldo and looked left and right, looking down at Hera.

"Let's all leave, bring a team of mechanical guards here," Pat said immediately, "Hera, I must isolate you now." ”

"I understand, I'm going to lie here and don't let my backpack leave me," Hera said indifferently, "This is my backpack soaked in information interferon, which can affect the microbes in my body." ”

"Microbes?" Pat frowned, "Is it really cluster bioinformation?" ”

"The bugs we see may not be the insects themselves, or they are just part of the concept of space zergs."

Hera closed her eyes and whispered quickly:

I haven't figured out what happened to me and how it happened.

But obviously, I had similar symptoms on the planet, and the queen mother worm was able to directly control my body, which meant that I was able to communicate with the female worm across the airspace.

"Now that I'm a crippled Zerg larva, it's wise to isolate me, but before that, I want to see the mother."

She slowly looked up at Pat:

"I'll carry my backpack over and I'll cooperate with all your experiments after that."

"It can't be." Pat took two steps back.

"Professor!"

"No," Professor Pat shook his head decisively, "we can't make mistakes over and over again, and if something goes wrong, we have to stop the loss, and I'll place you in a separate space isolated by strong magnetism, where it has been proven that the larvae cannot make contact with the mother. ”

Naldo hurriedly said, "She may be right." ”

"Shut up!"

Professor Pat yelled, "You've caused too much trouble! Dr. Naldo!"

"Yes," said Naldo, holding his forehead, a buzz in his ears.

Two mechanical guards, controlled remotely by hand, lifted Hera up.

Hera, who was visibly anxious, kept shouting:

"Professor, I need to see that thing, I'm going to make a breakthrough in this field."

"Father, Daddy! I have to solve the mystery of me, if it affects me, why did it affect me recently!"

"// You can't control the Zerg at all! This will breed disaster! I am the proof! I'm the best proof of that!"

A special anesthetic needle appeared in the back of Hera's neck, and the needle was quickly pushed in.

Hera's eyes slowly closed, and she was carried by the mechanical guards, slowly making her way to the isolation room in the distance.

The backpack landed on the ground and was picked up by the mechanical guards behind.

Professor Pat raised his hand to his forehead and opened his mouth to say something, but he was only distracted by the direction where Hera was.

Experimenters everywhere stared in the direction Hera had left, and the news of the little girl's Zerg infection had begun to spread, causing them to panic a little.

Dr. Naldo's legs seemed to go limp.

He leaned against the wall to get support, but his body slipped uncontrollably and slumped, as if he was sinking to the bottom of the sea, and it was a little difficult to breathe at the moment.

The atmosphere in the hallway became more and more oppressive.

The experimenters began to return to their jobs one after another.

Professor Pat sighed slightly, "Noldo"

Rumble!

The base shook suddenly.

Professor Pat's face turned pale, and the red warning lights on the wall beside him began to flicker rapidly.

"Professor Pat! The mother worm suddenly woke up and was impacting the petri dish!"

"This bastard bug!"

Professor Pat burst into a foul mouth, grabbed Naldo, and pushed Naldo the shoulder.

"Get to work! This is the only way to save your daughter's life!"

"Okay professor," Nardo's voice regained composure, "I'll go back at once." ”

Rumble!

The base trembled slightly, and the security gates began to fall rapidly, and a large number of mechanical guards rushed to the location of the mother petri dish.

But this time, what the human workers in the base didn't notice was that although the mother worms reacted very violently, the ordinary worms were just trembling uneasily, and did not directly riot, nor did they trigger the automatic fire of the laser cannon.

Tiny cracks appeared in the huge metal lid of the mother petri dish, and the cracks were rapidly expanding.

Above the base.

Outside a fenced-off blackened farmland, the hovercab hides in the shadows of a metal shed.

Yang Luo sat quietly in the back seat, except for his breathing being a little heavy, he didn't look anything unusual.

In fact, Yang Luo couldn't help but kick open the door, dig up the soil, and go to find those insects to fight to the death!

Made, the Space Zerg is a cub who stole the life form of the ancient gods? No, there is no such thing as the reproduction of the ancient gods, and there can be no cubs.

"Ritsu, how much have you collected?"

"Boss, the sensing element on the hairpin is relatively simple, and the collected data is not too much."

"Continue collecting."

"Okay boss, don't push yourself too hard."

Ritsu said worriedly, then fell silent.

Yang Luo struggled to adjust his breathing, trying to focus his attention on the projection screen in front of him, observing the path that Hera had been dragged through.

Sizzle.

It was as if the sound of a snake spitting out a letter appeared out of thin air.

Yang Luo was in a trance, and saw the starry background again, he saw a huge python in the distance, but when he got closer, he could see that it was an ugly giant insect.

Queen Mother Worm!

It has a faint humanoid silhouette on its upper body, a head with overlapping spiky fangs, and a bloated tail where the swarm is born.

Second-order female worms!

A second-order female worm that is about to evolve!

The mother worm is constantly struggling.

It trembled, trembled, instinctively feared.

Yang Luo's irritable mood suddenly became cold.

When the desire to kill reaches a peak, it is followed by incomparable sanity and calmness.

He looked at the female worm against the background of the starry sky, and wisps of wonderful information appeared in Yang Luo's perception, this kind of information came from nowhere, and it was not human language, but it could be understood by Yang Luo.

Yang Luo seemed to be connected to the communication network of the insect swarm;

Even, he saw fragments of the mother worm's memories.

It was excavated from the ground by some humans in an egg, just below the Ram, and then it was isolated and studied by the institute in situ.

Research on it has been going on for a long time, replacing six or seven generations of researchers.

These experiments have gradually made breakthroughs, and researchers may not understand the principles, but they are good at summarizing them, and they can derive phenomena from phenomena.

It has not yet evolved to an advanced level, and is ready to produce queen eggs.

Each queen egg symbolizes a group, and it is also the true genetic inheritance of the queen mother.

The queen eggs were taken from it and sent to a distant starfield.

Yang Luo felt something in his heart and raised his head reluctantly.

In the starry sky overhead, hundreds of dim stars suddenly shimmered.

That seems to indicate something.

Yang Luo didn't have time to think about it, and Li's voice suddenly sounded:

"Boss! Critical data has been gathered, Hera has been placed in a strong magnetic isolation cell, and the transport has been cut off. ”

Yang Meng shook his head, and when he looked down, he saw the projection screen in front of him that had stopped updating.

"Let's go."

The taxi immediately turned around and left, quickly scurrying into a fork in the road and speeding towards the distant Ring Star Lane.

Leaving the distance, Yang Luo turned his head to look at the fenced fields with some feeling.

"Lil, start debriefing."

"Okay boss, but I have news for you first."

"Speak."

/ The riot continues," Ritsu said softly, "The Feinan has detected a strong biological signal during the previous riot and has been marked as a female worm. Now, the spirit of that female worm is unprecedentedly active, and if she is not planning a great escape, she is going to start evolving towards the third order. ”

Yang Luo said: "Find a corner and fish me out first." ”

"Okay boss, Ram's defense satellites are all converging over this base, and we have a lot of time to use."

Ritsu couldn't help but say a few more words:

We misestimated the value of Hera.

"That's not to say that she's capable of scientific research, there's no shortage of geniuses in the galaxy."

"Ritsu means that she is able to communicate with the Zerg Queen."

"You're wrong."

Yang Luodao:

"The real anomaly doesn't originate from Hera."

"If Hera's theory is true, the space zerg rely on the microorganisms hosted in their bodies to communicate across the airspace, then the microorganisms must belong to the high-dimensional life group."

"This kind of ghost thing should be able to reside in humans, even if the probability is low, it's not impossible."

"The anomaly is the female worm, it has been trapped here for at least a few decades, even hundreds of years, the research team alone has changed seven or eight times, and the number of mines planted by the new Federation for Sherman is beyond our imagination."

"Humans study the mother worm, and the mother worm is also observing humans, it is difficult to say whether there is a dependency relationship formed in this, and she can directly ask Professor Pat and others for help, which is a manifestation of understanding the logic of human behavior."

"If you put aside the so-called interstellar political struggle, this female worm has secretly spread the race to a fairly wide airspace before it has even evolved to a high level."

"Made! These Federalists really don't do anything!"

Ritsu said suddenly: "Boss, according to the bioenergy detector reaction, it seems that it has begun to evolve rapidly, and the bioenergy reaction inside the base has suddenly skyrocketed. The number is exaggerated and somewhat abnormal. ”

Yang Luo thought of a word inexplicably.

"Explode."

"What? Boss? ”

"The mother worm has the ability to catalyze the immediate hatching of all eggs, and the hatched larvae will be small in size and have a limited survival time, but they can appear in large numbers in a short period of time, and a small number of larvae may directly break the shell in the form of higher-order insects."

The corners of Yang Luo's mouth twitched slightly.

If, he said if.

The last time he appeared in the area, the mother worm began to prepare to flee for her life.

During this time, the intra-oval differentiation of the larvae has been completed.

"Boss, the current area can be transmitted, and there is a huge gap in the other party's satellite monitoring network."

"Transfer."

A bright light flickered, and Yang Luo's figure suddenly disappeared.

Almost Yang Luo had just left the surface.

A beam of fire suddenly erupted from the center of the enclosed area, the ground trembled violently, and a mushroom cloud slowly rose.

Underground base.

Professor Pat's eyes widened in disbelief at the incalculable and innumerable number of larvae on the screen in front of him.

They frantically pounced on the laser cannons, sacrificing fifty percent of the number of laser cannons in exchange for the laser cannons being dismantled in large areas.

In the corner, there were a few larvae with a silvery white glow on their backs, gently vibrating their wings, and the remotely controlled mechanical guards dropped at the same time.

The metal lid of the huge petri dish was lifted off, and the huge, bloated, immobile mother worm tore at the large piece of metal with its terrifying mouthparts.

One by one, the larvae pounce on the mother and burrow straight into the mouth of the mother.

The scalp-tingling sound of chewing echoed in Professor Pat's ears.

"It has to evolve a third-order female worm to make the swarm change qualitatively! Damn it! We didn't even notice it from preventing them from hatching in suicide!"

Professor Pat yelled:

"Inform the defense fleet to get ready! Base 1 implements an emergency evacuation plan! Destroy all backup files!"

Feinan.

Yang Luo sat in the captain's chair, staring at the planet outside the porthole, he casually picked up the distilled water sent by O26, and raised his head and poured a few sips.

"Boss," 026 reminded, "your body index is abnormal, do you need a shot of genetic stabilizer?" ”

"Get an injection."

"I'll go get it!"

026 hurried away.

Dressed in a dark blue uniform, Ritsu appeared beside Yang Luo, her hands behind her back, and she also looked at Ram Xing.

The Fei Nan was moving away quickly, and in order to maintain secrecy, it did not directly initiate the jump.

"Boss, there is no sign of us being exposed for the time being, they only pay attention to bugs, but we have also left some traces, and it is only a matter of time before they are discovered."

"It's good that no one finds out now," Yang Luo smiled, "How about it?" The network of the new federation is not so easy to hack, is it? ”

"I've almost been spotted by their technical team a few times," Ritsu snorted, "I'm a mechanical mind, and I have no home field advantage at all." ”

"Don't underestimate the Galactic Civilization."

Yang Luo pillowed his arms and stared at Ram Xing.

"Ritsu, how are we doing this time?"

The expected goal has been achieved," Ritsu quickly took stock, "The enhanced injection formula has arrived, and after preliminary analysis, you can also use it, boss, but the effect of the increase is not necessarily, and the side effect is easy to go berserk." ”

Yang Luo's eyes lit up: "Running away is a trivial matter, and being able to survive is the key." ”

"That's right," Lu said with a smile, "The intelligence of Ram Xing's secret base should be regarded as the biggest gain of this trip, and we can implement the follow-up strategy of driving the wolf and chasing the tiger, and win enough development opportunities for our own side." ”

"It's relatively satisfying," Yang Luo said with satisfaction.

"Well, boss, don't you have any regrets for Miss Hera?"

"We're using each other," Yang Luo shrugged, "I admire this woman, but unfortunately, it should be difficult for her to get rid of the clutches of the new Federation in the future, and I hope that she can tightly guard the secret of Yali so that I can finally go and scrape the dressing off my face......"

026 had already run back with the injection.

Yang Luo was just about to be injected, his eyelids twitched slightly, and the familiar irritability inexplicably appeared in his heart, but this time it was very slight.

What's going on?

Yang Luo grabbed the 'skin breaker' and looked in the direction of Ram Xing.

There, a military transport ship rose into the air at full speed, without opening the protective shield, and a layer of fire appeared on the periphery.

Ritsu quickly zoomed in on the image of the transport, and 026 exhaled softly.

The perimeter of the ship was densely crawled with larvae.

"Ril, enlarge its porthole!"

"Yes."

A somewhat ambiguous moving image appeared in front of Yang Luo's eyes.

Inside the porthole, more than a dozen human crew members stood tremblingly in front of the console, and behind them, the adults that Yang Luo had seen in the picture and who were being studied raised their sharp blades against the crew.

Further back, larvae covered the floor.

I can vaguely see the female worm that has changed its appearance, and the one who has been suspended in the air by a tentacle piercing her shoulder blade, but her expression is extremely indifferent and her eyes are green.

Hera.

026 and Ritsu glanced at each other, and Ritsu had already begun to quickly say:

"Boss, a fleet of the New Federation is jumping here!"

"The transport ship ahead began to make a forced jump!"

"This she-worm is really going to escape! This transport ship may not be able to withstand the gravitational pull of the forced jump, but the mother worm will definitely survive!"

"Keep up."

Yang Luo calmly ordered.

"Boss?" Ril was a little puzzled.

Yang Luo's eyes narrowed slightly: "I want to try hunting the Zerg and see what I can gain." ”

"But okay boss, I'll try to calculate a safe time," Lu worriedly glanced at the needle that was put down by Yang Luo.

She knew that Yang Luo was not driven by the ancient god instinct now.

The boss is eager to be stronger.

At the very least, to become stronger than Posa.

The transport ship forcibly jumped, and the aft half of the hull had a tendency to disintegrate.

Ritsu accurately calculated the landing point of the opponent, and the Fei Nan followed with a rapid jump.

"Boss, we don't have much time, and the powerful fleet of the new Federation will appear at any time."

Prepare for particle transport.

Yang Luo rushed to the corner, and the white exoskeleton armor placed there was once again useful:

"Ritsu, the captain's authority has been handed over to you for the time being, and now you are in command, and you can transfer me back at any time."

"Understood," Ritsu's eyes lit up.

Temporary promotion.
