Under its hand-in-hand teaching, this newborn zerg turned the gnawed body into an empty puppet.

"Alright." It looked at each other, already imagining the scene of infiltrating the huge, human-infested starship and hollowing out the human swarm from within. I couldn't help but smile a little sweetly, "My family." ”

…

Before the scout ship knew it, most of the people were no longer pure humans.

Either it becomes a walking golem that has been completely hollowed out of its body, or it becomes a warm nest for eggs to hatch.

Even when the eggs are not hatching, they are constantly instructed to make some very slight changes. Even they didn't realize that it wasn't what he really thought, but that he was being manipulated.

This silent exchange of blood happened very quickly.

The collection continues, and it has never been smoother.

Although they have not yet returned the collected resource materials to the starship laboratory, everyone can be sure that this is a beautiful, rich and incomparably peaceful planet.

If nothing else, their starships will be here as well.

Obviously, the mission went very smoothly, and the heavy workload also made the members of the expedition team tired of thinking about other things.

But—some of them, perhaps naturally sensitive to such things, have become quite uneasy because of the strange changes in the people around them.

Via sat down in his seat with his plate in his hand.

His opposite party was also a teammate from the same camp as him, and because he was selected to join the expedition team, the relationship between the two was obviously better. This made Via, who has never liked to complain, couldn't help but complain, "Jack, don't you think Ann has been a little wrong lately......"

He recounted with some annoyance, more like talking to himself, "though he can answer anything when asked." But I've always felt like he's been a lot more silent lately, like ...... It's like a different person. ”

"Huh?" The man named Jack looked up, still with that relaxed look on his face, "You're too sensitive, aren't you?" The task is so tiring now, you still have time to think about all this nonsense, and you have a lot of energy. ”

"I'm not—"

Via's voice suddenly paused, and he looked at the heroic appearance of his companion in front of him that he had never seen before.

On the plate in front of Jack was a medium-rare steak, which had been fried almost quite simply, and there was plenty of blood locked in it, no different from raw.

Jack was still holding a knife and fork at first, but he didn't know if it was because he was too impatient, and finally he actually tore the steak directly into his mouth, and a little fresh blood flowed from his lips, he swallowed a mouthful of meat and licked his lips slightly.

Presumably noticing Via's gaze, he turned his head again, "What's wrong?" ”

"Nope." Via said in a trance, "Nothing. ”

I don't know why, he feels that the companion in front of him has also changed from before.

But just a day ago, they had been chatting and returning from the training room together.

Why is this happening? The people around him who were originally very familiar gave him an indescribable sense of strangeness-

Via put down her fork and muttered, "Maybe it's time for me to see a psychiatrist." ”

The silent erosion went very well.

This made the captain who sowed the eggs not so much want to go back.

However, it is a pity that it has received an order from the upper echelons that they have been out for too long to investigate, and the energy on the reconnaissance ship may not be enough, so it must return within two days.

There are still a small number of people on the scout ship who have not been modified, which is a pity.

But the thought of returning to the much larger main starship and facing an entire city of humans made it even more excited.

Both the appetite and the desire to conquer have led it into a frenzy. Even the face of the body that was occupied by him blushed slightly.

…

Although the expedition team that returned like heroes was given enough attention and welcome, when they returned to the main starship from the reconnaissance ship, they still entered the access module first and underwent strict scanning and inspection.

At the beginning, the scanning ray of the reconnaissance ship was fashionable and trembled slightly, because it matured and became powerful, and completely occupied this body, and at this time it even smiled slightly.

Of course, everyone felt that he was just happy because he successfully completed the mission and returned to the starship.

He and the deputy captain, as well as several deputies who are usually "close" to each other, passed the test without any problems.

The members of the expedition also left the access module one after another.

While this is a necessary ritual to return to the interior of the starship from the outside, the detection system never sounds, almost giving the impression that it may just be an ornamental object.

It's been too long since there has been an accident on the starship.

Tests like this are more ceremonial than practical. That's what almost everyone thinks.

It's just that Yuan Xuxue has done a few more things during this time.

He didn't need to modify the portable light weapon for the time being, and he was going to arrange for the time spent on this matter to be free, so he upgraded the detection system again.

It also replenishes its core with fresh energy.

Although it was only a small change in the program, it was effective at this time-

In an instant, after scanning the body of one of the returning expedition members, the light in the access cabin suddenly changed to an extremely conspicuous red light.

And a piercing warning sound sounded in his ears.

Such an unsettling change made the inspectors who had been very relaxed before instantly vigilant.

A very serious warning voice came from the microphone in the cabin, "Don't move, everyone stays where they are." ”

The captain's smile froze slightly.

The man who, after being tested, heard a sudden warning sound—

He was also showing an extremely puzzled expression, and his face was a little strange.

The captain looked at him.

That's the latest generation, the embryo sac that lays eggs.

There were only other Zerg yesterday who had just planted eggs inside his body.

Their genes are not as high as they are, so there are even pale flesh-colored marks on their necks, and the neck area is slightly bulging.

Is it because it's so "fresh" that it's discovered?

It thought with some displeasure.

You must know that in its inheritance memory, they have never had such an accident when they infiltrated a human starship or planet.

The high-level person in charge of the inspection soon came to the scene, and his face was ugly and serious that could be seen by the naked eye.

Almost everyone who works in the inspection department is well aware that the red light and warning sound just now are the highest S-level warnings. The representative found traces left behind by the Zerg.

Through the translucent door of the first cabin, the captain stepped forward.

Because it is the person who passes the test safely, and because it occupies a high position in the body itself, it is in the second layer. So even in such a situation, the inspectors, who are usually always on top, show a look of respect for it.

The inspector at the head of the group called his name respectfully.

"What's going on?" The captain said, "Will my team and I be able to return to the starship before the feast begins?" ”

Digesting the brains of this body, it is quite clear about the rules between those in the upper class.

It's back in the starship, and there's supposed to be a welcome party.

The man on the other side showed a slightly hesitant look, "My lord, we have to carry out a more rigorous test." The warning just now is the highest warning that will be issued when traces of the Zerg body or parasitism are found. ”

"Ahh ”

"This ......"

The man fell silent.

In fact, after such a warning is activated, the correct course of action should be to kill the person in question directly.

It was only because the identities of the personnel sent out to the expedition this time were not ordinary that the inspectors did not dare to dispose of them directly.

The Zerg who possessed the captain knew very well from the memory inheritance that their kind of Zerg parasitism had never been discovered.

The Terrans that can be found have already been eaten.

The inherent impression of human beings on the parasitism of the Zerg is that the parasitic people will be very frightened and lose their minds, revealing some characteristics of the Zerg - in fact, the people who are parasitized by them will also, but they cover it up very well.

The fresh embryo sac that had just been parasitized, judging from various standards and data, did not conform to the inherent impression of human beings being parasitized by the Zerg.

It's not that it's worried about losing such a fan, it's simply that it doesn't want humans to discover new parasitic traits from detection, and thus suspect their group of returning people.

You must know that most of the humans who came back have become embryo sacs or puppets.

At this time, there was also the sound of an argument in my ears.

The person who was found to have traces of the Zerg on his body was very annoyed and scolded, "Do you guys figure it out, look at me like I have been parasitized by bugs, and I have no brains?" ”

Anyone who is pointed at a weapon will not be in a good mood. Especially since he is still a member of the expedition team with a noble status and has just returned from meritorious service.

So he was very irritable and angrily accused, "It's this detection system that is broken!" It's still ridiculously bad!! ”

The inspired, captain, also said euphemistically, "Yes." Is it possible that the detection system is broken? ”

The inspector opposite him was silent for a moment, "But just recently, Mr. Yuan upgraded it. ”

With the memory of this body, it knew that "Mr. Yuan" was a technician of unknown origin who had entered the top level with the help of the maintenance system.

It does seem to be a good means.

There was a little cold thought in my heart, and it was clear that it was probably the system that the person had upgraded and ruined his plan.

It thus divides each other into characters that need to be focused on.

It's going to eat him bit by bit.

It would be too dangerous for such a human to keep him in the starship.

"Maybe it's his upgrades that make some errors in the detection system." The captain didn't give an inch.

So after the other party was a little embarrassed for a while, he finally relented, "We will inform Mr. Yuan later, and ask him to come and check again." It's just that before that, we're going to send this Lord to a special research room where he will be subjected to more rigorous scrutiny—for the safety of the Lord and our entire starship. ”

As if to appease the expedition, he added, "Of course, an adult like you who has fully passed the test can leave after cleaning." ”

Although the inspectors are not as high as them, their functions are really special.

Judging from the tough attitude of the other party, it is impossible to take away the fresh embryo sac directly.

If it is too tough, it may be suspected later - this body is very good for the time being, and it does not want to be forcibly replaced.

One can only hope that the human waste laboratory will not be able to detect traces of insect eggs or give solid evidence.

Either it finds an opportunity to kill or extinguish the embryo sac.
