The Secret Chamber of the Card Game

Chu Huaying has lived on the Dark Night starship for 28 years. In her memory, she has been wandering the stars with her parents since she was a child. Unfortunately, her parents died early. The Dark Night starship has never landed on the Zerg planet. She also knows little about this planet. .

With Chu Huaying's order, more than 30 Star Pirates on the Star Pirate Ship gathered in the command room.

She began to interrogate one by one: "Have you been to the Zerg planet before? How much do you know about this planet?"

Most of the Star Pirates know very little. They heard from their parents that there are bugs on this planet. No one knows what kind of bugs they are. The scene of the Zerg fusion just now made many people turn pale with fright.

Yu Hanjiang's interrogator was more professional than Chu Huaying. He stood next to Chu Huaying wearing a mask and carefully observed the expressions and movements of these star thieves.When Chu Huaying interrogated an old man with gray hair, Yu Hanjiang suddenly leaned into her ear and said, "When this old man heard about Zerg Planet, his eyes dodged and his right hand subconsciously shrank behind his back. He obviously knows something."

Body language is also very important. In many cases, Yu Hanjiang can judge whether the suspect is telling the truth or lying based on the subtle body language. This is the valuable experience he has gained from interrogating criminals for many years.

Chu Huaying understood, and focused on interrogating the old man in front of him.

The old man is over 50 years old. He is a star thief of the same generation as Chu Huaying's father. He is responsible for the maintenance of starships. He doesn't usually show up, but Chu Huaying remembers him.

She walked in front of the other party and said gently: "Uncle Qin, you watched me grow up, and now I am the captain of the starship Dark Night, I should have the right to know some secrets, right? Otherwise, I will be like today , Accidentally driving the starship to the Zerg planet, wouldn't it harm everyone?"

The old man trembled suddenly, gritted his teeth and refused to speak.

Chu Huaying said: "Those bugs suddenly flew over to attack us just now. What is the reason? The Zerg queen said that we humans have not done enough evil these years... Do you know what she means? Tell me, please?"

The old man was silent for a moment, then said in a hoarse voice, "23 years ago, when we were wandering around the interstellar world, we accidentally discovered that there were a lot of precious minerals on this planet. We landed in that mine and wanted to mine some minerals. Take it and sell it in various countries, but in the end, it is surrounded by countless bugs.”

"We were taken aback. We were about to take up weapons, but were stopped by the former captain. The Zerg didn't attack us, but just watched us curiously. The captain said, we only have thirty or so people, and we don't know this The ability of the Zerg race, don’t rashly harm the native races here, it’s best to communicate and negotiate with them.”

"But humans and the Zerg don't speak the same language, and we don't know how to negotiate. We talked for a long time, and the Zerg just circled around us curiously, and didn't give any response. So, the captain came up with an idea, and he took the initiative to approach the Zerg. At that time He happened to have a wound on his hand, and those bugs actually crawled into his body along his wound..."

Chu Huaying's face changed: "And then? He became a Zerg?"

"No, he conquered the Zerg living in his body." Speaking of the captain, the old man couldn't help showing admiration on his face, he coughed lightly, and then said: "It's amazing that the captain has the ability of the Zerg." , and can understand the language of the Zerg. He went to talk to the Queen of the Zerg and told her that we were just taking some ores that are waste to the Zerg but extremely precious to us."

"Has the Queen agreed?"

"She agreed." The old man said: "Those minerals are garbage to the Zerg, but they can help humans make armor. Coincidentally, the nutrient solution we carry for cultivating plants can just help the Queen speed up the reproduction of the creep. "

There is indeed a greenhouse on the Starship Dark Night, which is specially used to grow vegetables and fruits. After all, Star Pirates have been wandering in the universe for a long time, and they cannot always eat compressed biscuits.Now that science and technology are advanced, nutrient solution has been widely used, which can speed up the growth of crops, and a Chinese cabbage can mature in just a few days.

Unexpectedly, this nutrient solution is actually effective for Zerg?

Xiao Lou suddenly had a bold guess in his heart. He asked, "So, you have reached an agreement with the Zerg Queen. You provide nutrient solution to help her breed creep, and she allows you to mine the minerals on the planet?"

The old man glanced at Xiao Lou. The young man was wearing a mask, so he couldn't see his face clearly, his eyes were black and clear, and his voice was very gentle... He didn't know whether he should answer or not.

Chu Huaying said indifferently: "They have already decided to join the Star Bandits, they are their own people, Uncle Qin, just say it."

The old man nodded, and continued: "We have made peace with the Zerg on this planet, and designed a new starship according to the shape of the Zerg. Afterwards, we mined a large amount of ore to sell, and continued to deliver nutrient solution to assist the queen. The blanket covered the entire planet. Those three years were the best three years our Star Thief team had..."

Chu Huaying can almost guess the next plot: "You sell a lot of precious ores, and the profits you get make many people jealous. They will definitely wonder about the source of the ores and try to track you down?"

Uncle Qin closed his eyes in pain, clenched his fists and said, "Yes. We were tracked by anti-reconnaissance drones when we went to the Zerg planet to mine ore. This hidden resource star was captured by the resources department of the Luoke Empire. The minister found out. Then, he asked the military department to send a legion to destroy the Zerg and occupy the resource star..."

Recalling the scene back then, Old Uncle Qin trembled all over. He choked up and said, "The Star Thief lost countless lives and injuries. In the end, only a few people escaped in the starship, including me and your parents."

Chu Huaying frowned and said: "That is to say, the Imperial Army found this resource star by tracking you. Because the minerals on the planet are too rich, they don't know that the Zerg is an intelligent creature, so they just sent troops to destroy it?"

Old Uncle Qin said: "Yes, after all, in their eyes, we star robbers should have been wiped out, and we occupy resource stars to make huge profits, so of course they want to get rid of us and the Zerg together... But, they didn't expect the Zerg to be so terrible, They failed to wipe out the Zerg, but the Zerg resisted desperately, almost annihilating the troops they sent, only a few survived, and fled in the fastest S-class armor."

Xiao Lou asked, "Where's your old captain?"

Uncle Qin was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I was taken away."

"That is to say, the captain who merged with the Zerg was captured by the military and returned to the capital planet?"

"Yes, he evolved a very strong ability after merging with the Zerg. He would not have been caught, but there were too many troops sent at that time. In order to protect us, he drove a battle armor to meet us. The combat capabilities of the elite troops of the empire It is also very strong, directly trapping the captain's armor with an electromagnetic net and taking it away..."

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other. Although they were separated by masks, they both thought of the same possibility at this moment.

Chu Huaying said: "Uncle Qin, tell us what else you know."

The old man sighed softly and said: "Because the old captain often chatted with the queen after merging with the Zerg, the Zerg queen also learned the human language. When we fled in the starship, I heard her say that humans should not step into the Zerg again." The planet is half a step away, or we will kill one by one. Because of this, we never dared to land on the Zerg planet again."

He looked at Chu Huaying with regret on his face: "If I knew that you went to the Zerg planet today, I would definitely stop it! Huaying, stop being so impulsive, Zergs are not easy to mess with!"

Chu Huaying nodded: "Thank you Uncle Qin, I understand, you can go back and rest."

After the old man left, everyone took off their masks.

Everyone's faces were ugly.

Ye Qi concluded: "The Star Pirates accidentally discovered that the territory of the Zerg has ores that humans need, and they negotiated with the Zerg for mutual benefit... However, the Star Pirates became more and more greedy and sold more and more minerals, which attracted the attention of the Ministry of Resources. After discussing with the Ministry of Resources of the Empire and the military, they decided to wipe out the Star Thief and the Zerg, and occupy the resource star, but it triggered a fierce resistance from the Zerg. In the end, both sides suffered losses. The leader was captured; the army was almost wiped out?"

If the military department had softened its attitude to negotiate with the Zerg Queen, the tragedy would not have happened.

However, seeing these seemingly "weak" bugs for the first time, human beings are born with the arrogance of "higher creatures", and they will subconsciously think... Isn't it just some low-level bugs?Once it burns out, this planet is ours.

The facts gave them a head-on blow.

Ye Qi's summary made the teammates feel heavy, especially Lu Jiuchuan, who had suffered a loss, was full of regret.However, that was the plot set by the gatekeeper for him and Tang Ci, and it was what happened before they entered the secret room.If it was Lu Jiuchuan himself, he would never act rashly.

Yu Hanjiang suddenly whispered: "The captain of the starship was arrested 20 years ago, and it was also the year when the Noah's Ark plan was restarted."

In the star calendar 2977, the star robbers discovered the Zerg planet, sold minerals, and made huge profits. They lived a prosperous life for 3 years.

In star calendar 2980, the Star Bandits were tracked down by the military. The military carried out an extermination plan, but failed to wipe out the Zerg, and almost wiped out the entire army.

In the same year, Noah's Ark was planned to be restarted.

Could it be a coincidence?

Xiao Lou took a deep breath and said, "The Noah's Ark project failed for the first time in 2975 in the star calendar. It was because of a problem with the culture medium. The copied children did not live long, and the experiment was forced to stop. We have always wondered why in 2980 The plan will be restarted, and now it seems that this restart of the plan has a great relationship with the discovery of the Zerg!"

What a coincidence in timing!

It just so happened that human beings suffered a loss on the Zerg planet that year, and happened to catch a star thief leader who had merged with the Zerg. Not long after, the Noah's Ark plan was restarted, and 30 billion was invested to study replicants again.

Xiao Lou and the others have long speculated that the plan to restart is due to the great improvement in experimental technology. Now it seems that this improvement may also be inspired by the Zerg.

Yu Hanjiang followed his words and speculated: "The nutrient solution used by humans to cultivate vegetables and fruits can accelerate the reproduction of Zerg creep. Then... can the genes of Zerg also accelerate the development of humans?"

Xiao Loudao: "If this is the case, the scientists will definitely take the captured Star Bandit back for experiments. Maybe they extracted the Zerg gene from him, and added some gene fragments to the gene sequence for replicating human cells?"

Xiao Lou took a deep breath, clenched his fists tightly, and said in a trembling voice: "The reason why the second experiment went so smoothly, and the copied children could grow up quickly and be the same age as the main body - because, the mad scientist, It actually hybridized and modified human genes!"

When the teammates heard this, they only felt chills down their spines.

What if the Zerg gene is added to the human gene sequence and mutated?Are they crazy? !
