How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 151 Beyond

The outer metal wall of the Alien Sanctuary is the soil layer, which is mainly due to the huge mass of the colony ship itself, and the bottom part is sunk into the ground.

In order not to be found by the aliens, the 'wires' covering the passage of the refuge were broken down into individual cells under Huogu's instructions. After breaking away from the collective, these cells died under the action of the autophagy gene. The remaining volume is not much larger than a grain of dust.

Huogu led Si to escape from the small hole leading to the outside, and at the same time repaired the hole with the molecular level of the original metal body. Even if he magnified it a thousand times or ten thousand times with a microscope, he still couldn't see the slightest crack.

Of course, not all seals are sealed in this way. After all, this method is time-consuming and energy-consuming. It is like letting Hogu build a skyscraper by himself. Make trouble for yourself, so this molecular-level repair only repairs a thickness of one centimeter, and the rest is filled with the residue from the reaction.

Why does it feel like a prison escape?

For a moment when Huogu came out of the alien refuge, a strange feeling rose in his heart, as if the caged bird could finally leave the cage and spread its wings to soar.

Prison break? What is that? Can it be eaten?

The connection was not disconnected, so Si received this message from Hogu.

Don't worry about it, follow up, I'll take you out of here.

At this time, a section of rhizome appeared in front of the two, propping up a tunnel connecting the ground in the ground.

And the transparent cell cluster dominated by Huogu gradually transformed into a collector individual by acquiring the substances in the surrounding soil layer.

After leaving the shelter full of monitors, Huogu and the others can be said to have returned to the sea, not to mention unimpeded along the way, and the mode of travel is no longer as cautious as before.

Although the colony is the territory of aliens, here, Huogu, as a land snake, has better monitoring and anti-monitoring capabilities than those aliens. Otherwise, he would not have the confidence to enter the refuge alone and rescue Si.

Soon, after arriving under the metal slope of the giant structure, the solid and thick metal bone slope automatically separated a cave, helping Si to leave the area enclosed by the giant structure.

It's a cumbersome operation.

Feeling the return of Si's life field signal to the whole group, Huogu was relieved.

The entire process of rescuing Duosi was like an operation, and Huo Gu was the surgeon who performed the surgery. He didn't feel it before, but now that everything is over, Huo Gu only felt one word - tired.

But now is not the time to relax, Huo Gu has to hurry up and prepare for the incoming fleet.

【Huogu, I want to discuss something with you. 】

It was the message from Ming, and Huogu became alert accordingly—every time it asked for help, it meant another troublesome thing appeared, such as the previous design and manufacture of autotrophic and heterotrophic multicellular organisms Same.

Sure enough, Ming's next message confirmed Hogu's guess.

[How did you do that behavior before? Teach me chant. 】

What behavior?

Huogu asked a little strangely. Although there was no language barrier, Huogu still didn't understand what the behavior Ming was referring to.

[That’s right, it’s the perspective of ‘small individuals’. I just saw you fighting those small individuals, and I felt super, super... super excited! Yes, excited! 】

...

After Ming's relentless retelling, Huogu probably understood what Ming wanted to express—it wanted a clone from the perspective of a small individual, or an incarnation.

It wants to experience what it feels like to be a 'little individual' that can be crushed to death by it.

【Why have you gone quiet? 】

Because I don't know how to answer, anyway, you will definitely ask me to fix one for you, right?

[Hehe, you really understand me, as expected, Huogu, you are the smartest special body. 】

Even if you flatter me so much, I won't help you. Just be quiet.

【Eh? Why……】

The reason is very simple. I still haven't understood why you can exist.

[Can't understand? 】

Originally your existence and your abilities are 'unreasonable', but they do exist, so I can only understand them as phenomena beyond the scope of my knowledge.

I don't understand, so how can we talk about using and modifying these phenomena?

Yes, the Gaia Theory existed on Earth, why didn't Huo Gu think about it in that direction? It is because Hogu is a staunch opponent of that theory.

Although he didn't completely step into the field of biology, even Hogu, who has stepped half of his foot into this field, is very clear that things like 'Gaia' are just like talking about 'magic' with materialists. concept.

The planet itself is a chaotic system. On the celestial scale, what can be used as a carrier of information to maintain stability and completely connect the entire planet into one?

Even if they are connected together, the limitation of the speed of light still exists. The result of an overly large information network is similar to the original thinking slowdown, blinking for tens of millions of years, unless the planetary network is in the form of a quantum computer structure.

The 'intelligence' bred in the network of simple compounds may not be born until the end of the universe.

Not only Ming, but also Huogu himself was in the same situation, and he couldn't figure out why the global network he built hadn't been affected.

Although it can all be attributed to the blame of this is the characteristic of the life field, what is the true face of the life field, Huo Gu still wants to know, after all, things that are not clear will always make people feel uneasy.

【Eh... It turns out that Hogu also has limits, but I was always worried about it. 】

...What's with that relieved tone of yours?

When Huo Gu complained, the alien fleet was getting closer and closer to their colony planet. At this time, their ship's radar could already capture the wreckage left by the space battle more accurately.

Commander, the colony is calling for help from us. They say that the 'flood' organized by the monsters is more ferocious than before, and it is almost impossible to rely solely on the 'popping sound'.

Respond to them and hold on for a while, we will take a super long-range attack and provide them with air firepower.

After so ordering, the commander immediately issued another order.

Launch outpost probes to investigate the wreckage of the space station.

yes!

Another ultra-small object was launched from the huge battleship. These objects are much smaller than the previous autonomous ship, and the whole body is dark.

The object approaches the wreckage of the space station at high speed, uses a strong magnetic field to buffer the launch, and then enters the wreckage through the gap.
