Chapter 285: Lord-level Parasite (Subscription Requested)

Sima Changguang was implanted with high-level military prosthetics very early, and his years of military career have created his strong combat ability and adaptability.

Even with the disadvantage of one enemy and two enemies, coupled with the fact that the enemy is still an elite soldier parasitized by the swarm, he also has an absolute advantage.

As the two soldiers lunged at him, he grabbed the arm of the soldier who claimed to be Rolf with one hand and pulled each other away, blocking him in front of him.

Let the other soldier who rushed over crash into Rolf's body, and even the tentacles with his mouth stabbed the other's body, and he hid behind him unscathed. Then he pulled the trigger of the pistol aimed at Rolf, only to see a beam burst out from the muzzle of the gun, which instantly pierced Rolf's head, opening a large hole with a scorching smell.

Then, he pointed the muzzle of the gun at another soldier and continued to pull the trigger, and the muzzle of the gun continued to shoot pulsed lasers as he moved, and in just an instant, several holes were punched in the opponent's head, emitting the same scorching smell.

Sima Changguang threw the corpse in his hand down and exhaled lightly, although he didn't know what abilities those monsters had, but the brain is the central system of human beings, as long as the brain is destroyed, the body will be paralyzed.

Even if those monsters have the ability to repair themselves, it will take time to repair, which is why he chose to shoot the brain.

The battle between the two sides only lasted for two breaths, and with the slightest hesitation, he had to report directly to the God Emperor.

With a gun in one hand, he crouched down and examined the bodies of the two soldiers with the other.

Nameplates, biological seals, epaulettes, identity verification and other things are complete, enter personal information for inquiry, and the appearance is also the same, there is no doubt that both are imperial soldiers, pure human blood.

It's just that the tentacles in the other party's mouth are definitely not organs possessed by humans, and it is obvious that something has happened that has caused these two soldiers to have this strange change.

At this time, footsteps were heard, and a patrol team in full armor appeared at the end of the corridor.

They heard the sound of a fierce fight here, rushed over to check the situation, and when they saw the corpse on the ground, they immediately put on a fighting posture, raised their guns and aimed at the corpse and Sima Changguang, and at the same time checked whether there were any suspicious targets in other places.

The captain at the head walked in front of Sima Changguang and opened the mask of the helmet, revealing a handsome, well-defined face.

He glanced at the two corpses on the ground, both of them were shot in the head and died, and their marksmanship was accurate, killing the enemy with one blow.

The tentacles sticking out of the corpse's gaping mouth were particularly oozing, and at first glance they were standard heretics. In the end, the captain shifted his gaze to Sima Changguang, and the identity detection system showed that the other party was a high-ranking commander of the ground forces, a general.

"We are the 744 patrol team, I am the captain - Norbert, General Sima Changguang, can you tell us what's going on here?" The captain asked.

Sima Changguang stood up from the corpse, "Invasion, these two soldiers have been alienated. Immediately send an alert, asking all troops to enter the first level of alert, the enemy may still be hidden, and they must be found out, otherwise when they enter the key position of the Holy Judge, the problem will be troublesome, and it may affect the Void battle outside. ”

Norbert glanced at Sima Changguang, and considering the other party's rank and the corpse on the ground, he finally decided to follow the other party's orders.

He opened the communication channel that connected to Shangfeng.

"In the middle of the 74 corridor on the port side, alienated imperial soldiers were found, suspected of being invaded, and there was General Sima Changguang at the scene, requesting that technicians be present, and requesting that the first-level alert state be opened immediately to screen all personnel."

After saying that, he repeated it again, and only after receiving a definite answer did he turn off the communication and make a gesture to signal the team members to disperse their guards, protect the scene, and wait for the arrival of professionals.

The reaction speed of the various departments of the empire was still very fast, and Norbert's report quickly attracted attention, and the first level of alert was activated, and all soldiers wore combat armor and weapons in hand, ready for battle, while screening hidden enemies within the fleet.

Half a minute later, the heavily armed Wang Ben walked out of the strategy room, followed by several tall legionnaires, they walked to the scene where Sima Changguang was fighting with the two monsters, and the long tentacles and tongues revealed their inhuman identities for the first time.

A team of technical sergeants also rushed over at this time, and conducted a dissection and comprehensive scan of the two dead soldiers on the spot, and found that their brains had undergone abnormal changes, and several organs in their bodies had also been reorganized. If time goes by a little longer, I'm afraid that the anomaly will not only be the tentacles in the mouth, but the entire body will become a monster.

"They are parasitized, this is supposed to be a parasite belonging to the swarm, which controls the human brain." A technical sergeant extracted a bug the size of a baby's fist from the location of the brain, which had merged with the human brain, connected by complex nerve bundles, and Sima hit it with a single shot, directly causing the death of the soldier and the parasite.

"The parasite alters the flesh and blood of the parasitized, consciously shaping it into a killing weapon. And look here. The technical sergeant lifted the tentacles of the mouth, "This tentacle contains a large amount of genetic material and larvae, as long as it is injected into the body of a living person, it can complete the infection in tens of seconds, and within a few minutes it can become a slave and container for the swarm, and at the same time have a new tentacle and become a new source of infection." ”

Hearing that parasites can also be infected, everyone present has solemn faces, and this method is much stronger than that of carat parasites.

Carat parasites need to put larvae into humans, and after a long period of time, they can decay and assimilate humans.

And the parasite of the swarm only needs a moment to control a human being, and even transform it into a professional killing weapon, and the two are completely incomparable.

The technical sergeant added, "Of course, the infection is also conditional. The larvae must enter the human brain to gain control. After having control, the body can be fully transformed, so the injection location is generally selected in the oral cavity, and there are blood vessels in the throat to provide blood and nutrients to the brain, as long as the larvae and genetic material are injected into the blood vessels, and then with the help of the blood supply of the blood vessels, the larvae can spread rapidly in the human brain, and absorb nutrients to grow, and the brain assimilation, and finally control the entire body. ”

"It's so easy to get infected, I'm afraid this thing has already spread, we have to clean it up as soon as possible, the longer it drags on, the more dangerous it becomes." Sima Changguang looked at Wang Ben, "At this stage, only the legionnaires may be able to ensure that they will not be infected 100%, so the task of presiding over the elimination of these enemies can only be carried out by the legionnaires, and the gang-jumping tactics you wanted to try before may have to be postponed." ”

The Storm Trooper is equipped with a variety of technologies and the blessings of the God Emperor, so he can survive in space and even in an alien environment without the help of any equipment, and there is no need to worry about alien germs.

These parasites can parasitize ordinary people, but they can't parasitize Legionnaires, and they can't be killed by Legionnaires' powerful immune systems just after entering.

Wang Ben nodded and looked at Rutgers, who served as his personal guard officer, "Immediately inform all companies, abandon the gang jump plan, and first assist the armed forces to clear out the infiltrated enemy." ”

"Understood." After Rutgers saluted, he turned around and went to inform the companies, and at the same time went to gather the personal guard companies and prepare for battle.

At this time, Morton opened the communication again and told everyone an important message.

"We included the parasite and the previous sample, and found that there is a difference in the IQ of these bugs, which should be divided into levels, the higher the level, the higher the IQ, and the more cunning it is. At the same time, we also found that these bugs can receive external brain wave information, and they are most likely controlled by higher-level bugs, forming a strict class society. I have reason to suspect that there might be a creature infiltrating the Divine Judgment enemy that will receive information from the brood and then pass it on to other bugs. ”

"They still have such a complex and complete social hierarchy??" Wang Ben's tone was full of jealousy, the more he dug into the secrets of these insects, the more frightening it became, the other party's methods were really a bit unbelievable, and some aspects were more advanced than human beings.

"I'm afraid that social hierarchies are nothing, and I am worried that the creature that acts as a node can not only receive brainwave signals, but also subspace information. After all, brain waves can only propagate at the speed of light in the real universe, but subspace can ignore this and be able to transmit instructions faster. ”

"Could they also have some subspace behind them?" Sima Changguang heard Morton's speculation and put forward his own hypothesis.

"It's possible that there is some kind of metaphysical swarm will or something, like the legendary Gestalt hive mentality." Morton replied in the communication, "But it's not time to study this, find the creature that acts as a node as soon as possible, those bugs that remain on the Holy Judgment will lose most of the threat, but they are just stragglers." And remember to catch that node creature, and send it over, the best alive, or the dead, we must understand the habits and social composition of these bugs as soon as possible, and how they call the shots and act in unison. ”

When the communication was cut off, Rutgers happened to arrive with the personal guard company.

"Action, clear out the parasites that have infiltrated the Holy Judgment."

Wang Ben didn't have any nonsense, and directly let people start acting. From the technician's mouth, he had learned the horror of these bugs, which were more intractable, more powerful, and more brutal than the Kra parasites.

If they lose and let the bugs step on their corpses into the galaxy, it will be a catastrophe for the fledgling galactic empire, and all humans will become food for the swarm, and they must be kept in the Tyranid sector.

There is some kind of communication between parasites that humans don't understand, when Sima Changguang just killed two parasites, and the empire learned that there were invaders and wanted to carry out operations, those parasitic humans no longer hid their identities, they did whatever it took to pounce on those innocent soldiers and infect them, just like zombies, but those guys controlled by parasites were much smarter than zombies.

Those infected can have their mouths split like flower petals, extending tentacles with bone spurs, and some can turn their arms into tentacles, which can be freely extended and contracted, often with sharp arthropods at the ends, which can be used as weapons to easily disembowel Imperial soldiers in battle armor, or to control them and inject larvae into them to turn them into infected.

The longer the mutation time of the infected, the more abilities they have, and the more difficult they are.

Hit those infected with a gun, they don't feel pain, only hit the head, can completely eliminate it, but some of the mutation, the head can already be cracked like a petal of the infected, the head is useless, must be completely destroyed, to be eliminated.

The Invalid wreaked havoc on multiple decks, storming vital chambers in an attempt to destroy the Empire's Void Force from within, destroying many places, and some of them were killed by the infected before they could react in time.

Fortunately, the early discovery of the power balance between humans and the infected is still overwhelming, and if the number of infected increases a little later, it will be a troublesome matter, and the Void War will most likely fail due to their invasion, resulting in the collapse of the First Expeditionary Force fleet.

The reacting armed forces, dressed in heavy armor and armed with weapons and flamethrowers, combined with the cooperation of the bridge, used armored hatches to cut through the ranks of the infected, scattering them and annihilating them one by one.

The Imperial side has an absolute advantage, the number of soldiers, weapons, as well as mechas, drones, combat armor and many other equipment, the infected are annihilated by the armed forces in pieces, and it will not be long before the corridors and main roads of the ships are full of blood and minced meat.

In the Holy Judgment, Wang Ben and the others are still looking for that node creature, and only by completely eliminating that node creature can they thwart the enemy's invasion, otherwise the other party is hiding in the shadows and will come back again at any time.

The hard work paid off, and in the half-hour-long investigation, Wang Ben and others finally found the target, and the other party was in a dormitory of the Corps.

At the beginning of the Void War, the soldiers of that regiment had just finished their patrol shifts, and everyone was exhausted, so they went back to sleep on their stomachs when they returned to the dormitory, trying to seize the time to recover their mental and physical strength and prepare for the battle that might break out next.

The Void War is cruel, but as long as they experience it a lot, they will get used to it, and they will understand that worrying is useless, and they will become the kind of people who will die tomorrow and can eat and sleep as usual today.

The parasite took the lead in eliminating the patrolling guards, and then infected the sleeping soldiers one by one, and tens of thousands of people in a corps were quietly infected and transformed.

If Sima Changguang hadn't discovered it early, more than 10,000 people would have gone out and infected others again, it would have been a catastrophe. Node creatures were also born among so many infected, directing the invasion.

It's a pity that the armed forces of the human race are overwhelming against the infected, and no matter how the node creatures are deployed, they can't change the situation of the defeated battle.

Tens of thousands of infected subjects were shot in a cramped environment, slashed to pieces by legionnaires wielding swords, blood staining the walls and floors, and the smell of blood mixed with the smell of burnt fire, disgusting.

Wang Ben took the lead, slashed into that speed, split all the infected in his way, and then stepped into the dormitory area, which was a mess, with blood and traces of battle remaining.

Some of the soldiers sensed that something was wrong and immediately launched a resistance, but they could not resist the huge number, and before they could even send out the alarm, they were torn apart by those monsters.

Wang Ben could imagine the despair of those soldiers before they died, shouting for help or the name of the God Emperor, only to be overwhelmed by the enemy.

The former companions turned into monsters and lunged at them like zombies, tearing open their stomachs, tearing out their intestines and internal organs, and tearing off their limbs alive.

Wang Ben walked in step by step, the lumen lights in the dormitory area had been destroyed, only the alarm lights were still flashing, and the scarlet lights smeared the entire dormitory area, and at the same time stretched Wang Ben's appearance very long.

In the depths of the dormitory area, a man in the uniform of an Imperial officer stood.

When he heard the footsteps, the man turned around, and the other party still maintained the appearance of a human, it was those eyes that betrayed him, revealing the evil and hatred that humans would never have.

This man is clearly the node of the parasite and the swarm, a lord-level parasite.

The command mode of the swarm is very similar to the ancient king lord system, where the king (the will of the swarm) gives orders, and the lord (node creature) takes soldiers (ordinary bugs) to carry out tasks and perfect the details.

Node creatures, naturally, are called lord creatures by technicians.

The man smiled horribly at Wang Ben, and then its entire head cracked open, turning into writhing tentacles, ending in sharp arthropods, which could leave shocking marks on the heavy stone and armor plates with random swings.

Wang Ben clenched the long sword in his hand, vigilant against the possible attack of this lord-level monster, he did not attack, and neither did the other party, both sides were waiting for the other party to attack first.

One person and one worm confronted, Wang Ben sensed an ancient and evil wisdom in the eyes of that monster, Wang Ben was nearly a hundred years old, but compared to the real owner of those eyes, he was a babbling baby.

The individuals in the swarm are independent and one. When necessary, they act separately and think with their own minds, while at other times they merge and submit to a unified consciousness. It's like a pond that can stand on its own, but when it meets the sea, it doesn't hesitate to merge into one, regardless of each other.

++ There is no point in resisting, only by merging into the Great Devourer is the true salvation and the true salvation of the universe, ignorant beings, you know nothing of the truth, but foolishly resist the future that will come++

The other party's will echoed in Wang Ben's mind, like a strange whisper in subspace.

Countless images unfolded in Wang Ben's mind, showing those ancient and vast wars, showing those assimilated creatures. Those ancient galaxies were extinguished one by one, and countless races were swallowed up by countless swarms, fused with the will of the swarm in another strange manner.

In a way, those beings were also sublimated and became part of an existence comparable to the gods of the subspace, and according to the gods of the subspace, those beings were given eternity.

+ Get out of my head, damn monster, no one needs your salvation, this is the galaxy, it's the territory of humanity, we have our own way++

Wang Ben did not succumb to those terrible images, even if the stars were dim and beyond the galaxy was a cruel killing field, he also firmly believed in the future promised by the God Emperor.

One day, they will transcend everything, get rid of evil gods, get rid of traitors, get rid of these alien races, and get a truly glorious future.

The monster roared, probably thinking that the sound would interfere with the enemy's judgment, and its muscles contracted at a rate rarely seen by the naked eye, ready for battle.

It rushed forward at breakneck speed, swinging those strange tentacle blades and slashing at Wang Ben's location.

The weapons of the two sides collided, making a thunderous sound, and sparks flew everywhere, but the strength of the lord-level parasite far exceeded that of ordinary parasites, and more tentacle blades slashed and slashed, and a random blow could cut through the stone slabs and steel on the ground.

Wang Ben only has two hands and a sword, and he has no way to fight against this kind of monster that can split tentacles, so he can only fight at times, dodge at times, and be beaten back by the opponent's stormy attacks.

The two tentacles contracted suddenly, and the sturdy and sharp joints instantly jammed Wang Ben's sword, and the friction between the weapons caused sparks and electric sparks to burst out at the same time.

And at this time, several other tentacles attacked, heading straight for his front door, trying to split him in two.

At this moment, Wang Ben seemed to see the messenger of the God Emperor calling him.

Bang! Bang!

Two explosions pulled him back to reality, and two blast beams landed on the tentacles, causing an explosion, shattering the tentacles and allowing Wang Ben, who was downwind, to regain the advantage again.

Liu Xia and the other two warriors held a sword in one hand and an explosive blaster in the other, and each blast beam hit the monster, shattering its dancing tentacles.

"You should wait for us." Liu Xia shouted, "A lone hero is never a good choice, if you always act alone like this, I have to think about the ceremony arrangements for taking office first." ”

Wang Ben showed a hint of a smile, "If you want to be the commander of the legion, it is estimated that it is still a little difficult, and you will have to wait for many years." ”

"I hope there isn't that day." Liu Xia said, "I don't like the position of corps commander, and it's fun to be a deputy." ”

Wang Ben didn't bother with Liu Xia again, he took a step and sprinted towards the other party, the sound of heavy footsteps echoed in the corridor, and when he got close enough, a sword slashed at the lord-level parasite, threatening to split it in two.

There are typos that can be corrected, thank you.

Continues to explode in the middle of the update.
