Chapter 156: Adult

Zhang Zicheng carefully observed the severed hand in his hand, which was indeed a complete and pure biological arm, not a person wearing some kind of armor.

The blood from the severed hand is green, and the musculature in it is more like pipes. In other words, the other person's muscles are simply made up of blood vessels.

The forearms and the back of the hand are like armor-like carapaces, which are elastic to the touch, more resilient, and well hydrated. He pressed it gently, even bigger than the depression he pressed hard.

So what is this construction? Hydraulic muscles, non-Newtonian fluid carapace?

This kind of structure, Zhang Zicheng can't think of how he works at all, if there is no black technology that Zhang Zicheng has not seen, purely with Zhang Zicheng's existing biological and even physical knowledge, this thing should not be able to stand.

"You...... Who are you?! ”

The roar of the blue-black locust beetle, Zhang Zicheng listened to it in his ears, and felt that there was almost no change in intonation, but the system could still translate it, which was really amazing.

At the same time, the surrounding earth soldiers wearing protective clothing suddenly turned their guns and aimed at Zhang Zicheng.

Zhang Zicheng didn't feel betrayed by this, after all, they were still under the control of the enemy, but he was still a little surprised.

"Bastard...... How dare you interfere with the exercises of the 'Moth Order', are you a member of the 'Crucible'?" ”

In Zhang Zicheng's gaze, the body of the locust beetle man magically shrank.

The other party's body slowly melted as if it was liquid, turning into a yellow-green pus flowing downward, finally revealing a lean male inside.

The male also looked no different from a normal human, with black broken hair, and although the body could see muscles, the dimensions were not large, and it looked more like it was thin.

He let the yellow-green pus on his body flow, and he was not surprised to see his hands intact, but frowned and stared at Zhang Zicheng.

Zhang Zicheng touched his chin, the pus just now, it looked ...... It's a bit like insects in the pupal stage, forming nutrients inside.

And in this process, the individual inside should be 'grown' again, so that the arms can recover. Besides, if in the previous carapace state, there was such a fragile ordinary person in it, and the damping inertia of flying alone could kill him.

So this state of change should be called ...... Perverted?

And Zhang Zicheng also felt that although he still couldn't understand the other party's physical functions, at least he believed that when there was a big living person inside, ordinary technology was definitely not enough to dig out a space that could accommodate the driver.

It's not that everyone is Iron Man, not to mention that this is a version of a creature that pays more attention to unity.

Zhang Zicheng looked at the soldiers in protective clothing around him and said, "Who are these people?" Their weapons look so strange. ”

He didn't admit that he was a crucible, but he began to pretend to be a native, showing surprise at the novelty.

The man who had degenerated from the locust crust was already naked at this time, he stared at Zhang Zicheng, frowned tightly, and said, "The matter of the Moth Cultivator has nothing to do with you. Please leave immediately, what has just happened, the Moth Order can be treated as if it did not happen. ”

Seeing that the other party did not answer, Zhang Zicheng ignored the other party for the time being, and turned to look at the soldiers wearing protective clothing.

Although he didn't know how many people had disappeared, he remembered that Martin was able to see the change in the eyes of the person being controlled, that is, whether there were any victims wearing hazmat suits. But the people here are all dressed in the same way, and Zhang Zicheng doesn't think that those controllers will do such an extraneous act as letting unprotected people wear clothes.

So those people have either been killed or have been assigned elsewhere?

And the person who appeared from the state of pupa, at this time, the pupal fluid on his body began to solidify, and some carapace and cuticles grew again, covering the key parts, but still revealing the face of a normal person.

Seeing that Zhang Zicheng's attention shifted to those people in the other space who were being controlled, he frowned and whispered, "Answer my question!" ”

Having said that, he did not take any further action.

In the brief conflict just now, he was horrified to find that he couldn't even see the speed of the other party, and his arm was broken in an instant. And due to the sluggishness of the pain nerve after the transformation, it was the injury that was discovered by the eye in the end.

I have never encountered an enemy of this magnitude before, and I don't know which force's new product.

In short, if possible, wait for reinforcements to arrive.

At the back of the man's neck, with tiny flins, was trembling slightly, sending a message outward.

This tremor is not to shake the air, but to mobilize some kind of pheromone in nature...... The natives here may have some inherent nouns for it, but that thing has been called aura by Zhang Zicheng in advance. After all, it is free in nature, and it can be absorbed by the human body in the way of exhalation, and if these two points are satisfied, it is not Reiki that can be used as Reiki.

The other party was very confident that his way of transmitting information was very hidden, but for Zhang Zicheng, who had been exhaling the aura here for a while and turned into a new true qi, his behavior was no different from running naked on the street and singing a sense of presence.

But it doesn't matter if more people can be called, Zhang Zicheng still doesn't know anything about this world for the time being, and the more people can get more information.

At present, what Zhang Zicheng cares about most in the Nine Realms is the rune that Loki wrote on JΓΆrmungadr to construct the Ouroboros ritual, and there is no special need for anything else.

And he only needs a little more shadow matter to be able to return to his clone in the crack space, and there is no shortage of channels to enter the big transit station of the crack space, so he is naturally very curious about the new world.

Zhang Zicheng ignored the muzzle of the gun aimed at him, and gently crushed the protective shield of an ordinary soldier.

This is a last resort, because the zipper of the protective suit is in an indecent position, Zhang Zicheng doesn't want to touch other people's sensitive parts, and it is not possible to operate it with real qi. Therefore, it is still directly hard, and simply destroy the protective clothing that cannot be isolated and controlled.

The shield turned into slag, not falling into the inside of the suit in the blowing of true qi, and revealing an expressionless face.

It was a young white man, probably in his twenties, with red hair and freckles on his face.

The young man who should have been enthusiastic at this time had a lifeless face, the pupils of his eyes had disappeared, and he was completely shrouded in indigo, and in the face of Zhang Zicheng's behavior, there was no further action, and it was obvious that the person controlling him behind him had not yet given an order.

Zhang Zicheng tried to sense the other party's source of control, and suddenly the young man opened his mouth, and a formless and colorless mass of substance was exhaled.

Ordinary people can't see this thing, but Zhang Zicheng can find some fine crystal dust coming towards him.

He took a step back, not that he was afraid of being controlled as well, but that he felt a little disgusting coming out of someone else's mouth.

But Zhang Zicheng still ingested a little bit in the air and handed it over to the system for analysis.

To be honest, Zhang Zicheng really has no idea what to do with the situation of these people.

After all, his cultivation time is still very short, and in addition to the simple cultivation of breathing, he will basically have those few functional spells and a pitiful number of attack spells. For the crooked ways of manipulating the spirit, he is a complete layman who is at a loss.

Although the young man spit out smoke that seemed to have a strange effect, Zhang Zicheng still felt that this kind of control was not airborne, otherwise these people's protective clothing would really be furnishings, and they couldn't even resist the most basic poisonous gas, and entering the crack space was really delivering food.

At that moment, there was a buzzing sound in the distance.

At first, Zhang Zicheng thought that the helicopter that these people had captured also came, but when he turned his head, he found that there were more than 20 monsters similar to the previous locust crusts, shaking their wings at high speed, flying towards this side.

Zhang Zicheng frowned slightly, looked at the man who appeared from the chrysalis, and asked, "Are you Moth Cultivators all such worms?" ”

The pupal man was slightly stunned when he heard this, and immediately became furious: "Bugs? Do you think you're more advanced than bugs? Man is nothing but maggots on the corpse of a god, and a larvae! Even the larvae dare to show their teeth and claws to the adults, what do you think you are facing? Cowardly hypocritical larval society? ”

As he spoke, as the other insect crustaceans approached, the chrysalis on his body flowed again, slowly wrapping around his face.

It's just that I don't know if it's because of the healing, the amount of chrysalis is not enough, and the regenerated mask is not enough to completely wrap the face, and in the end, only the eyes form huge compound eyes and antennae again, but the mouth and nose are exposed.

While he was transforming, he stared at Zhang Zicheng, and said condescendingly in an arrogant tone: "Although I don't know who you are, if all you can rely on is speed and strength, then your ending today can only be digested by adults!" ”

Good guys, is this perverted again?

Zhang Zicheng stared at it this time, those chrysalis liquid not only have high plasticity, but also contain extremely corrosive properties, directly devouring the man's original flesh and then forming a new carapace.

But will this energy conversion method consume too much? Even if you calculate conservatively, without considering the work done or the loss of building complex organs, you will lose at least 20% of the energy by simply digesting it, right? What a perpetual motion machine.

Of course, Zhang Zicheng only used his past knowledge without understanding the other party's technology. If you think about it carefully, if you take the knowledge learned from the cultivation realm and apply it to the top, it seems that the realization of some of these steps is not completely impossible.

"Let's see, Blue Sickle, in adult state!" The man who called himself the Blue Sickle was now two meters tall, completely wrapped in a carapace except for his exposed chin, and all of his injuries had recovered.

This made Zhang Zicheng guess that maybe the loss of energy from the other party's form transformation was really not large, that is, part of the material of the mask was used to repair the injury.

And as the other party made an attacking gesture, those carapace-like people from far and near finally arrived here.

Their speed is actually extremely fast, and the first two have even faintly reached the critical point of the speed of sound, and they only need to break through the sound barrier with the power of a kick.

And Zhang Zicheng's first impression of these people is...... It's really a bunch of bugs.

The leader is like a woman, covered in golden yellow, with a white fluff around her neck like a scarf. The visor is sharp, the eyes are narrow, and he holds a short half-human spear in the shape of a cone.

It's not obvious that it's a wasp.

The other was draped in a cyan robe, and his face was obscured by a hood, making it impossible to see the full extent of the armor under the hood.

It's just that the gorgeous cyan butterfly wings behind him will sprinkle countless waves of sparkling dust every time they flapp, which is very similar to the substance that the young man in protective clothing spit out from his mouth before.

At this time, the system finally said in Zhang Zicheng's mind: [Report the host, the dust structure has been analyzed...... The elements contained in it are so abundant that it is impossible to list them all in a short period of time. But it's an energy-packed neurotoxin that intercepts nerve impulses and exerts additional effects. And it is extremely corrosive to inorganic substances, and ordinary glass and plastic cannot resist its penetration. 】

Zhang Zicheng looked at the green-robed butterfly man, his eyes narrowed slightly.

It seems that it is the people who control it.

After listening to the report of the system, he asked in his heart: "In other words, these dust are a kind of teleportation energy remediator, which can transmit energy like a wish, and use this to control these ordinary people in a way of neural manipulation?" ”

System Says: [Yes, host.] 】

Zhang Zicheng clenched his fists and asked, "In other words, as long as you kill him, you can save those people?" ”

The system replied: [There is no more than 60% chance of it, and it is very likely to be accompanied by strong sequelae and toxic reactions.] Once the dust loses its energy supply, it will quickly transform from the state of clinging to the nerve into a real neurotoxin that will be absorbed by the human body, and it is judged that ordinary people will die within 5 seconds. 】

Grandma's, it's really yin.

It seems that he will be left to the last one.

At this meeting between Zhang Zicheng and the system, the wasp led by the wasp had already raised her dark short spear, pointed at Zhang Zicheng, and asked the blue sickle: "You sent an emergency distress signal, just for a larva?" You should know that with your SOS level, at least a hive-level enemy attack is only allowed to trigger. ”

Her voice was very cold, she slowly withdrew the short spear, pointed it at the blue sickle's face, and said coldly: "Forget about those idiots behind us, Shi Page and I are very busy, you know the consequences and punishments of false alarms, right?" ”

A trace of cold sweat suddenly oozed from the blue sickle's chin, but he still said in a deep voice with the same arrogant attitude: "Of course I know! But the enemy is strong, at least faster than you and stronger than the bugs. It may be a little reluctant to reach the hive level, but it is definitely above the insect king level! ”

Zhang Zicheng allowed them to exchange information with each other, and he could listen to a few more words.

It's just that he was doing a warm-up exercise that didn't make sense, and when they finished talking, the system suddenly popped up again and said a report that surprised Zhang Zicheng.

[New information extracted from the nerve toxin powder again...... The material source of this dust is not native to this dimension, but from other universes. 】

Zhang Zicheng was slightly stunned, raised his head again, and looked at the silent man in the green robe and hood not far away.

I see, no wonder these earthlings ran away after kidnapping. It's no wonder that while possessing these strange technologies, there is also a teleportation circle that Martin has a very magical color in his mouth.

It turns out that he is the same kind of person as himself...... A time-traveler who wanders around with the help of the gap space, learning and exploring new things and new powers.
