The Secret Chamber of the Card Game

The Dark Night starship quickly passed through the thick black fog around the planet and hovered over the Zerg planet.

With Chu Huaying's finger on the button, the starship turned on the anti-reconnaissance system. She drove the starship around the planet, scouting and selecting a landing location.

On the LCD screen in front of the starship command platform, you can see the magnified landscape of the planet.

As far as the field of vision is concerned, it is all black.

The whole planet is desolate, no plants can be seen, and there are no rivers or mountains. It looks like a desert smudged with black, but that black is different from pure black ink. On the contrary, it looks like... a thick layer Black blanket?

Chu Huaying adjusted the surveillance camera in front of the starship, pointed it at the planet's ground, and magnified the image a hundred times.

Then, everyone saw an extremely shocking scene——

The large black area is indeed like a thick blanket, and the "fluff" on the blanket is swaying in the wind. The "velvet blanket" is not a dead thing, but a living thing, and it has been spreading towards the surroundings.There are many white pebble-like things on the carpet, which should be insect eggs. Those eggs are constantly hatching, and larvae the size of fingernails appear.

If trypophobia saw this scene, they would probably faint from fright.

Xiao Lou and the others experienced a Zerg dungeon, and they were able to maintain their composure when they saw these familiar little bugs. It was the first time that Lu Jiuchuan, Tang Ci and Chu Huaying saw such a large-scale Zerg race. Tang Ci looked away stiffly , Lu Jiuchuan couldn't help scolding: "Fuck! There are bugs everywhere, this place is too disgusting!"

Chu Huaying frowned slightly: "This black carpet-like thing is for hatching insect eggs?"

Xiao Lou thought about it carefully and said, "This should be the legendary Zerg creep."

Lu Jiuchuan looked back at Xiao Lou: "Creep?"

Xiao Lou explained: "Creep can be understood as a breeding ground for Zerg to provide nutrients. It is produced by adult Zerg with secretions to help young Zerg grow up quickly. Creep can accelerate the expansion and reproduction of Zerg - the reason why this planet It's black because the entire planet is covered in black Zerg creep."

Ye Qi said excitedly: "I have played interstellar-themed games, and there is indeed a setting where the Zerg rely on creep to reproduce and expand. Since this planet is the home of the Zerg, the entire planet is covered with creep. Are they all Zerg?"

Xiao Loudao: "The Zerg on this planet are different from what we encountered in 8 of Spades."

He paused and said in detail: "The Zerg encountered in 8 of Spades must survive in the blood. They parasitize in the human body through the blood, quickly infect, and control the entire human city. And when they encounter danger, they will Mutual fusion and upgrade, the highest-level insect king can command the low-level insect race."

Ye Qi continued his words: "The Zerg race on this planet rely on creep for survival? Don't need blood?"

Xiao Lou nodded and said: "It should be due to the different environment. The Zerg of Spades 8 are not acclimatized after entering the human city. If they want to survive, they must find a medium. The most suitable medium for them is human blood. Now , this planet itself is the hometown of Zerg, they were born and raised here, and got used to the environment here. The creeps all over the planet provide them with a natural breeding ground, allowing them to develop and reproduce rapidly without the need for parasitism to expand."

The three of Lu Jiuchuan had never experienced the dangers of the Zerg secret room, so they didn't understand Xiao Lou's meaning for a while.

Xiao Lou concluded: "That is to say, the abilities of the Zerg here are much higher than the Zerg we encountered, and the number is not at the same level. If we accidentally let the Zerg merge, Mr. Shao may not be able to control the situation." .”

Ye Qi's face turned pale when he heard this - he remembered that at 8 of Spades he was attacked by Zergs, Shao Qingge used his body to block the Zerg's sharp claws in order to save him, and as a result he was infected, and later conquered the parasites with his consciousness The Zerg race evolved into a tenth-level Zerg King after many fusions, and got the Zerg Ace because of a blessing in disguise.

The most powerful Zerg in that secret room is the tenth-level Zerg King.

Today, the Zerg King of the Zerg planet is definitely higher.

After all, it was definitely not the most elite troops of the Zerg that invaded human cities.Those who settled on the Zerg planet absorbed the best nutrients from an early age, developed smoothly, and naturally had the strongest abilities.

The process of passing the 8 of Spades is so thrilling, if they fight the Zerg head-on now, they will definitely not get cheap.

There was a moment of silence in the command room.

After a while, Chu Huaying looked at Xiao Lou's serious face and asked, "Then shall we continue to land? If Mr. Shao can't control it, the number of Zergs on this planet is not something we can handle."

On the screen, the black creeps covering the planet are frightening.

But now that they have come here, everyone will not be reconciled if they retreat.

After careful consideration, Xiao Lou said, "Well, let's go around the planet first to see if there is an area with fewer Zergs, and let the starship land first. If we can't deal with the Zergs, at least we can escape here."

Chu Huaying nodded: "OK."

She accelerated the speed of the starship and continued to fly around the Zerg planet.

This planet is not big, compared with the planet inhabited by humans, its area is only one-tenth.The starship was extremely fast, and within half an hour, it flew around the entire planet.

Unexpectedly, a bright light flashed in everyone's eyes.

On the planet covered with black creeps, that touch of red is particularly eye-catching.

Chu Huaying manipulated the starship to approach.

A large area of ​​golden-red mountains appeared in the picture. The rolling mountains were hundreds of kilometers long, like a wide red river, adding a beautiful embellishment to this black planet.

Ye Qi asked, "Is this a volcano?"

Tang Ci walked to the podium, carefully looked at the mountains under his feet, and said: "Although the color looks like flames, this mountain is not a volcano, and there is no trace of volcanic eruption at all. These mountains... are more likely to be mineral veins. "

Ye Qi was stunned, looked at the large golden-red mountains in his field of vision, and murmured: "Could it be that this is the rare mineral used to make starships and battle armor? The legendary extremely rare red crystal mine?"

Tang Ci is also a student who graduated from the Department of Mech Control. Of course he has learned the theoretical knowledge of mecha manufacturing.

Hearing Ye Qi's words, Tang Ci nodded with a serious expression, turned to his teammates and said: "In the year 2000 of the star calendar, humans discovered a precious mineral on the planet β-75. Chromium is the hardest metal known. It is resistant to high temperatures and is not easy to oxidize. It will not be corroded even if it is put into a highly concentrated strong acid solution. Adding this metal to the raw materials for manufacturing starships and mechs can greatly improve the strength of the new generation. The performance of the armor."

He paused, and then said: "Due to over-exploitation, nearly 75% of the minerals on planet β-80 have been mined by humans, and the remaining mineral resources can only last for about 10 years. Human scientists have been looking around for these years. Will the new resource planet, the planet where the Zerg live, be the resource star they found?"

Chu Huaying turned around and walked to the porthole, looking at the large ore veins under her feet, she wondered: "What does the mission that Brother Nine wants to perform have anything to do with the replicant?"

Ye Qi guessed: "Is there a clone base on this planet?"

Xiao Lou said: "We have circled the planet just now. 99% of the planet's area is covered with Zerg creep. Only this mineral vein has no creep. If there are really clues about replicants, it should be in this area. .”

He looked back at Yu Hanjiang, asking for advice: "Do you want to go down and have a look?"

Yu Hanjiang nodded: "Since you're here, go down and look for it, and try not to disturb the Zerg."

Chu Huaying rested on the landing key, and the starship Dark Night folded its wings and landed steadily on one of the mines.

The surroundings were barren, and all the sight was filled with red-gold mineral veins, shining with a soft luster.

Chu Huaying decided to stay on the starship to respond. If someone plots to do something wrong and drives the starship away, it will be miserable for everyone to be left on the Zerg planet.Xiao Lou also felt that it would be better for her to stay on the starship to fight. If there is an emergency, everyone can at least escape at any time.

The five people opened the hatch, and Tang Ci first sent out a drone to investigate the surrounding environment.

Seeing the data reported by the drone, Tang Ci said: "The planet's oxygen content is scarce, but it can survive. The average temperature is as high as 68 degrees, and the ground temperature exceeds 90 degrees. These ores will dissipate heat to the surroundings, and their own temperature is extremely high. Just step on it."

With a high temperature of 90 degrees, stepping on it will definitely make the soles of your feet burn instantly.

Fortunately, they even passed the steamer hell in Zhou Chang's secret room back then, so there was naturally a way to deal with this temperature.Tang Ci took out the "Defense Mech Armor" card and asked everyone to put on high temperature armor.

Five people wearing battle armor fell to the ground.

From Chu Huaying's point of view, this scene is quite like an astronaut landing on a strange planet.

Xiao Lou sent everyone a team voice headset, and Chu Huaying also wore one, so that they can communicate at any time.

The five people scouted around the mine veins, but found nothing special. The surroundings were full of hard, hot ore. Ye Qi brought some to go back for research.

Xiao Lou wondered, "There is no trace of a human base, and the 90-degree high temperature and thin oxygen, such a harsh environment, is not suitable for humans to build a base, right?"

The environment here is too bad.

No plants, no oxygen, and most importantly, no water.

It is impossible for humans to survive in an environment without water sources, and the cost of interstellar transportation of food and water sources is too high...

Lu Jiuchuan thought about it: "Could it be that the mission we performed has nothing to do with the replicator plan?"

At this moment, a buzzing sound suddenly sounded around.

Ye Qi looked up, startled and said, "It seems like a big dark cloud is flying towards us?"

The planet is surrounded by black mist, where are the dark clouds?

Xiao Lou was startled suddenly: "No, it's Zerg, flying Zerg!"
