Bug Star Notes

"How's it going?"

"Not too bad."

The test result report from the tester B217 did not ease the cold faces of several high-level Zerg.

Not too bad means, still kind of bad.

"These threads do come from the eggs in their bodies, and they should have been connected to the protective cocoon that wrapped them. Since Ergaz chose to let your companions be the petri dishes and food reserves for the offspring, he would not It will make them die easily. In that protective cocoon, their life status will be maintained at a stable level. Ergaz's IQ is not low, it must have discovered the unique power of the female of the higher Zerg Self-recovery ability, those threads and protective cocoons constitute a complete feeding circuit, the eggs in their bodies will only absorb a certain amount of nutrients every day, stop before their nutritional level drops below the safety line, and then wait for them After recovering a little, start the next round of absorption. This cycle of repetition is like carefully using renewable energy with limited regenerative capacity, and those eggs are constantly asking for it in their bodies."

"And now that we've brought them out of their protective cocoon, that circuit has been severed."

Qi Fei took the words from the silver-white body.

He lifted off the blankets that had just been wrapped around the three unconscious fighters, and after careful identification, he could see a few thin yellowish threads scattered on the blankets on the lower bodies of the three female insects.

He said a word of impoliteness in his heart, and slightly moved the leg of the No.1 soldier who was closest to him, which he had removed from the protective cocoon.

The pale yellow silk thread stretched all the way between the opponent's legs, and the end disappeared into the female's torn military trousers.

Lu You took a small breath from the side, "Are these thread-like objects protruding from...?"

He skipped the word.

"Yes."

Detector B217 answered his question, "That's one of the reasons why I said it's not too bad. The larvae in the egg have already sensed that the circuit has been cut off, and they already have basic survival instincts in the mid-development stage. After the nutrient supply chain was broken, and the nutrient supply is likely to disappear, they stretched out their body parts. This can be regarded as their last struggle. The adult Elgas accurately implanted the eggs into your companions In the gestation cavity in the body, these evil little things have already clung to the organs in their body, and a very precise operation is required to safely remove all these connected parts."

"Isn't that too bad?"

The voice that did not belong to Qi Fei nor Lu You interrupted.

Even the two males froze for a moment before realizing that it was the voice of one of the female members of their team.

Two female team members who were transferred by Qi Fei to help were taking care of the other two members of the transport team who were unconscious, one on the left and the other on the right. An apologetic look of sorry for interrupting.

The principle of "silence is golden" that has been upheld all the way, finally can no longer keep silent in the face of the misfortunes of compatriots.

Captured by the alien beast, forced to implant the alien beast's eggs, and forced to continuously provide nutrition for the unborn cubs of the alien beast.

Even though the detector B217 didn't go into details, it could be guessed from the information that the other party had told him about how Elgaz implanted the eggs into the bodies of the three Zerg warriors.

It's okay when you lose consciousness, but once you wake up, you are faced with the sad reality that you can neither escape this desperate situation nor end it on your own.

As females, the female members of Qi Fei's team can empathize with the misfortune of the three soldiers in front of them.

"'Not too bad' is a relative term."

"So, what if it's worse?"

Qi Fei patted the shoulders of the two female team members lightly.

Although he can't empathize with them, he understands their empathy.

"There are many 'pipes' connected to the gestation cavity, and there are also many organs that the small tentacles they protrude are clinging to. The larvae in these eggs chose to drill out of the channel that caused the least damage to their bodies, rather than others. Channels such as blood vessels." Detector B217 explained, "At least this did not cause more damage to the bodies of your companions, and no blood vessels were blocked by these thread-like objects."

Compared with the even worse situation that has a great chance of causing the immediate death of three soldiers, the current state is indeed "not too bad".

But only there.

At the end of the day, it's still bad.

After confirming that the Zerg warriors in front of him had no more doubts or objections for the time being, the tester B217 immediately started the preparation of the medicine under Qi Fei's request.

Find out what happened to the lost transport team, find out the whereabouts of the missing team members, and rescue them as much as possible.

Qi Fei checked their mission book, and pressed [Confirm] after completing the mission content.

After several consecutive quests were confirmed, there was only one quest left in the [Unfinished] column on the quest data board—reloading the quota spar and sending it to the designated planet.

He went back to the cockpit of his mech. Even if his body entered a state of low energy consumption and energy saving, the energy level was still not optimistic.

Staring at his energy indicator bar showing the energy status for a moment, Qi Fei opened the communication link and re-deployed the worms for the team members.

He called the two team members who had been guarding the mech down to take over the work of taking care of the members of the transport team. By the way, they moved their bodies that had been suffocated in the cockpit for a long time. The other two team members who had left the cabin before returned to the plane. In Jianei, go to the nearby area to collect crystals.

Elgaz has already stayed in Lika's magical little box, and the ore star has regained the safety and tranquility it should have.

It is more than enough for two fighters with good mecha operation ability and single combat ability to complete the spar loading task.

"Captain, what about security guards..."

The team members who were sent to load the spar and the team members who went out of the cockpit to take over the care tasks were a little hesitant.

Two mechas were temporarily dispatched from here, the pilots of the other two left the cockpit, and the mecha belonging to the black-haired male was in a state of low energy.

They were all very worried about the security guards during the departure of the two mechs.

"Hey, I'm still here!"

The silver-gray machine, which had quietly served as the background board for a long time, waved its hands.

Lika seemed to realize that if he didn't make any more noise, he would really be reduced to the fate of "background board". He walked to the two pure black aircraft whose pilots had returned to the cockpit, "Go at ease, rest assured that I will leave this place to you." me."

"... Then there will be work."

"Is it my illusion? I think they seemed a little reluctant when they spoke before they left." Lika was a little puzzled.

Qi Fei said to him seriously, "It's an illusion."

So Lika calmed down, "I'll just say it, why don't you worry about leaving it to me!"

After the two Zerg mechs left for a while.

"Speaking of which, Fei, I should be able to help you with the low energy level of your body."

Lika walked around Qi Fei's black gold body twice, "Where is the energy input port of your body?"

"The lower left side of your gaze, under the detachable outer armor."

"Oh..." The silver-gray body overlapped and hugged its arms, "It's a very traditional position for the energy delivery port."

"……Tradition?"

"Yes, it's very traditional! Let me tell you, those mechanical life forms under 100 million years old, they are young and fashionable to make the energy transfer port underneath, and they have changed the name there, called the docking port, the detector B217 is only 80 years old, so he..."

"—Lika!"

"Well, I was wrong."

"..."

Qi Fei's face was paralyzed.

The low energy level of his mech is indeed one of the problems he needs to solve urgently. According to the existing energy status, his mecha may not be able to keep flying back to the transfer station where the master control is located.If Lika could actually help pump some energy into his organism, he would be very grateful.But judging from what the other party just said, which was interrupted by the tester B217, he had a little doubt about what kind of method Lika wanted to use to deliver energy to his body.

He still remembers the many "molestation" of his mecha by the silver-gray body.

"Hey, okay, don't look at me with that kind of eyes, I will help you power up your mecha in a serious way."

Lika was rubbing the helmet - the wrench had just been hit hard by the detector B217.He opened the armor plate on his waist and signaled Qi Fei to enter the cockpit and open the outer deck of the black gold body's energy input port.

A gray threaded pipe with a darker color than Lika's body paints protrudes from the silver-gray body and connects to the energy transmission port of the black gold body.

Qi Fei thanked Lika.

"You're welcome."

"Is your body energy okay?"

"It doesn't matter." Lika took out several purple square crystals from the breastplate, showed the black-haired male insect a second look, and then put them back, "We will carry this kind of energy compression block when we go out, probably Similar to your military compressed food, it can quickly supply energy to our body, but your mecha is not a mechanical life form after all, so you can’t eat them, so I use this docking method to supply energy to your body. It will be good to eat a few pieces after the transfer."

"I see."

Qi Fei nodded slightly. After asking about the estimated time-consuming of Lika's energy loss, he returned his attention to the three soldiers lying on the other side.

The real time consumption of energy transmission was much faster than the estimated time given by Lika. Almost at the same time as the energy transmission was completed, the detector B217 at the other end also completed the preparation of the medicine.

Lu You had already taken out three brand new syringes. He carefully took the medicine handed over by the silver-white mecha, and pushed the medicine into the syringe.

"You'd better press them a little bit. After the medicine enters the body, the larvae in the eggs will feel it. When they struggle in it, they will also be very painful."

"understood."

In addition to Lu You, there were exactly three members of Qi Fei's team with considerable combat power, corresponding to the number of members of the transportation team.

Yichong was in charge of setting up the members of the transport team next to him one by one, Qi Fei signaled to Lu You, "Start the injection."

"Yes."

The first time he went out on a mission, he encountered such misfortune in front of a strange beast that his compatriots encountered such misfortune. Lu You regained his composure, and he glanced at the first person he was about to inject the medicine with. The person in charge holding the opponent was Qi Fei.

The black-haired male seemed to have a wonderful sedative effect on him. After Lu You exchanged glances with his team leader, his trembling hand from nervousness calmed down. Faster and proficient than when he practiced in professional courses.

"……Well……"

Almost as soon as Lu You turned around and went to the next target, the soldier Qi Fei was supporting had already reacted in his body.

The rustling sound can only be heard if you look very carefully.

Qi Fei lowered his head, and slightly opened the wrapping blanket, and more light yellow silk threads appeared on the blanket than before, which was a sign that the egg in the opponent's body was dying.This fierce struggle obviously brought great pain to the soldier in his hands, and a layer of cold sweat quickly broke out on the surface of the opponent's body at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Stay a little longer."

Holding down the body of the female that was about to curl up and roll, Qi Fei encouraged in a low voice.

He felt a small hard object in the inner pocket of the other party's damaged jacket, took it out and checked it, and found that it was a badge, with a familiar shape and a familiar pattern engraved on it.

——It was the crest of the Oku family.
