"Please, give me back the Queen's Worm Core, okay?"

A voice from afar suddenly exploded in Lin Ai's ears, and the chopsticks in her hand "clicked" to the ground while she was eating, and the whole person covered her heart and fell to the table panting.

Her appearance frightened Xiao Xiaokong and Xiao Xiaojing, they squatted beside Lin Ai and called for her mother, but Lin Ai never responded, her eyes kept flushing, and she looked like she was about to turn into an insect, but she was forced down by her own consciousness over and over again.

Fortunately, the two children have experienced a big scene, they did not panic, Xiao Xiaokong stayed with his mother, and Xiao Xiaojing ran out and found Cheng Jing, who was going to have lunch, for help.

Because Lin Ai and her two children have been living in the biological research center, Cheng Jing and others quickly rushed to Lin Ai's dormitory, and they carried the sweaty Lin Ai to the sofa, and the data on the life monitor kept jumping, and almost none of the data was in the normal range.

Due to Lin Ai's special identity, the life index of ordinary humans does not apply to her, Cheng Jing saw at a glance that she was about to be insectized, but at this time, everyone was in the underground fortress, if Lin Ai was insectized here, the underground fortress would suffer a lot of damage.

In order to stabilize Lin Ai's state, Cheng Jing applied the spiritual mutation ability "Tranquility" to her, and the first-order mutant energy had little impact on Lin Ai's high-level mutant body, but fortunately, Lin Ai was strong-willed, and in the process of everyone hurriedly transferring her out of the underground fortress, she had been gritting her teeth and insisting on not being insected.

On the ambulance leading to the surface, Cheng Jing held Lin Ai's hand tightly, the battle on Wright Star had just ended a few days, Lin Ai was only sent back yesterday, and something happened today.

The data on the life detector no longer has any reference, Cheng Jing leaned over and took off the patch on his body for Lin Ai, and Lin Ai's lips spurted, as if he had something to say.

Cheng Jing leaned down to Lin Ai's lips and listened carefully for a while before hearing two key messages.

"Salamander Star...... Shu Yungui ......"

Could it be that Shu Yungui had an accident on the Salamander Star?!

Cheng Jing was shocked, although human technology could not restore the connection with the Salamander Star for the time being, but there was a worm core connection between Lin Ai and Shu Yungui, if Shu Yungui's personal safety was threatened, even if Lin Ai was 77 billion light years away, it could be completely felt.

Because Shu Yungui is already a fourth-order mutant, there has always been nothing that can really threaten his life, but looking at Lin Ai's current appearance, Shu Yungui is only afraid that the situation is really bad, Cheng Jing did not dare to delay, and hurriedly informed Cheng Sikong and Lao Chen of this matter.

At this time, Cheng Sikong was still dealing with post-war matters in Wright Star, and it would take time to rush back, but Lao Chen quickly rushed over, he glanced at Lin Ai's appearance and had a plan in his heart, turned his head to Cheng Jing and said: "I'm afraid the situation over there is not good, we must send someone over to support." ”

Of course, Cheng Jing wanted to help Shu Yungui, but the battle on Wright Star had just ended, and Jian Fangrong and the others had just towed the Dawn back to the Starstream Standby Station, and Tuk Star was working overtime up and down, and now they hadn't even gathered the parts for the initial maintenance of the Dawn, a distance of 77 billion light years, if there was no Dawn space jump ship, how could they go to Salamander Star to save people?

"I'll contact the maintenance department again...... Let's see if there is any way to speed up the repair......"

Before he could raise the communicator, he saw Lao Chen shake his head and said, "It will take at least a year and a half for the Dawn to be repaired, so I can't count on it for the time being." ”

"So what do we do? Aurora is currently the only spacecraft in the Hope field that can make space jumps, and if we don't fix it, do we have any other way to get to Salamander? Cheng Jing asked with difficulty.

The situation is urgent, and it is never too late to achieve the goal of interstellar leap through human scientific and technological means, and now we can only take some extraordinary measures.

Lao Chen glanced at Lin Ai, the strong insect core shock made her eyes blood-red, if Cheng Jing revoked "Tranquility", she would immediately turn into the Queen of Cree Worms.

"Let Lin Ai lead the way." Lao Chen's tone was firm, and Cheng Jing was not allowed to refute.

"Since the Cree worms can follow the Dawn through the wormhole, it means that they themselves have the ability to make spatial transitions, and now the resonance of the worm nuclei on both sides has been generated, Lin Ai is the only person who can find Shu Yungui at present, and our people should be able to reach the Salamander Star by following Lin Ai."

"Lin loves her...... Can you really pass through a wormhole? We don't have any research that shows that Cree has the ability to make spatial transitions......"

"Just because she doesn't have a certificate doesn't mean she doesn't have the ability." Lao Chen had a slightly wrinkled cigarette in his hand, but he didn't light it, as a member of the "guide" organization left by Shu Tongze, he had to save Shu Yungui at all costs.

"There are only two ways in front of us now, either do nothing and wait here, wait for the Dawn to be repaired, take us to the Salamander Star to save people or collect corpses, and the other is to gamble, betting that the resonance of the two insect cores can lead us to find Shu Yungui."

Lao Chen is right, this is indeed the only way at present, but Cheng Jing does not dare to make decisions easily, it is very risky to follow the queen worm into the wormhole for a spatial jump, in case the queen worm cannot make the jump, or cannot find the specific location of Shu Yungui at all, everyone may die without a place to be buried.

"I understand what you mean, but the decision-making power is not with me, the deputy chief is already on the way back, and the specific rescue plan will be determined after he returns."

And at this time, in the distant depths of the universe, everything happened so suddenly that no one could react from the shock.

The cold wind blowing on the surface of the Salamander Star poured in from the shattered mecha mask, and the military uniform that Yu Shuaiqi gave him on Shu Yungui's body was already stained with blood, and even the name plate that belonged to Yu Shuaiqi was splashed with red blood.

Today's wind seems to be exceptionally cold, and as soon as the blood flows out, a layer of ice flowers has condensed on the surface, but this does not affect the fact that they are sucked by Subject 055 like a capillary phenomenon along the worm feet that pierce into the chest.

Except for Subject 055 and Shu Yungui himself, everything around him seemed to be isolated, Shu Yungui exhaled a few mouthfuls of white mist, and he could even feel Subject 055's forefeet hanging next to his heart, and every beat of his heart could be brushed against the cold shell of the insect feet.

Shu Yungui raised his hand and held the insect foot in front of his chest hard, the slippery blood made him unable to hold the shell of the Cree worm at all, in order to be able to resist Subject 055, he used "a thousand strengths", his five fingers crushed the hard shell of the insect foot, and the fingertips were hard to sink into the shell.

The capillaries at the tip of the worm's foot were abundant, and the blue worm's blood flowed out, mixing with his red blood, and the two bloods did not merge, but merged into a pool of strange colors in the mecha cockpit.

Subject 055 felt the pain, its huge compound eye rubbed against the mecha mask, making a "squeak" screeching sound, and the white pattern next to its compound eye had a strong hallucinogenic effect, even if Shu Yungui's mental power was strong and did not fall into the illusion caused by Subject 055, he still felt that the white pattern was getting bigger and bigger, and it had expanded several times in the blink of an eye.

"You're not a queen...... What do you want the queen worm nucleus......"

In the face of Shu Yungui's questioning, the strange laughter of Subject 055 suddenly stopped, it stabbed forward violently, and the insect foot that had been pierced into the chest cavity was pushed forward again, and the sound of the insect shell rubbing against the broken bones of the muscle echoed in the cockpit of the mecha, and Shu Yungui gritted his teeth before he stabilized his mind in this terrifying pain.

"You are the one who imprisoned the Queen! You were the ones who snatched the Queen's Worm Core! Humans are the worst enemies of the Cree worms! It was you who caused the Zerg to lose the protection and nourishment of the Queen! ”

The Cree Worm is a social creature, they need the Queen's pheromones to maintain the reproduction of the population, and the Zerg's ability depends on how many pheromones the queen can provide to its people, and similarly, the queen's ability also comes from the pheromones that her children feed back to it.

This is the same as the living habits of most social insects in nature, and humans have long studied the reproduction laws of this race.

However, subject 055 became a special case in this natural law.

Because humans captured the queen of the Cree Worm, the long-term separation has made the reproduction ability of this population lower and lower, and the number of eggs surviving is getting smaller and smaller, and the Zerg need to save themselves, so a branch of the Cree Worm left the Hope Star Field and came to the Salamander Star, they have not recovered from the state of losing the queen, but the human beings have once again set foot on the planet they live on.

In order to ensure the survival of the race, a new queen was born in this Kree swarm on the Salamander Star, and that is Subject 055.

The white pattern on the top of its head is a symbol of the queen's status, but in order to truly become a queen, it still lacks one of the most important things-

Queen Worm Core.

Since the insect core of the previous queen was assigned to Lin Ai and Shu Yungui, the new queen on the axolotl star was unable to obtain pheromones from nature to condense the new queen insect core, which made it seriously lacking in ability, not only unable to command other cree worms, but also unable to break free from the shackles of humans.

But the queen is a queen after all, or it is also the opportunity for humans to harm Subject 055, through the interaction of the human insect spirit network, Subject 055 learned human language from Massa's brain, and even learned the information of the Aurora's return.

It released pheromones to trigger the first vicious incident of the Zerg attacking humans on the Axolotl planet, and in that chaotic battle, it took the opportunity to arrange for its kind to follow the Dawn back to the Hope Star Field, and met Shu Yungui, who carried the Queen's Worm Nucleus, outside the Giant Lion No. 1 wormhole.

The seduction that began with "save me" continues to this day, although Subject 055 is locked in a glass enclosure by humans, things are still evolving as it was envisioned, after nearly three years of hard waiting, Shu Yungui finally came to the Salamander Star, and today is the day when the new queen obtains the worm core!

Some people died, but not completely......
