Puppeteer [Interstellar]

The search team looking for the puppet, after seeing a large number of Zerg landing on the earth in the form of a "meteor shower", immediately realized that something was wrong, and retreated collectively at that time.

This search team is an elite team. For the sake of mobility, this team has relatively few personnel. There are only five people in total, five men of different heights and appearances.

The oldest is the captain, his name is "Xiao", and he is known as A Xiao. He is a veteran of the battlefield in his 40s. He was wearing a black coat, black hood, mask, scarf, gloves and boots, all fully armed.

A Xiao and his team members squatted together in the low depressions of the terrain, hiding their bodies in the corners and avoiding danger.

Those "meteor showers" in the sky crashed down, one after another Zerg descended from the sky, smashing dense and huge giant craters on the ground, A Xiao and others who were watching from a distance simply observed the situation, A Xiao said Said: "It doesn't matter if you take a long way, we must stay far away from these monsters, otherwise we will be discovered."

Someone in the team said, "What about the mission? Give up that golem?"

Another person interjected: "What do you care about puppet at this time? I'm going to lose my life!?"

Captain A Xiao continued: "At this time, we really have no way to control the puppet, and there are so many Zergs landing here, we must send the news back and notify the base to prepare for it."

Although the five people decided in this way, there are always surprises in everything.The sky was not according to one's wishes. Just when the search team determined the route and planned to return to the base, on their way forward, a Zerg fell from the sky and smashed a huge hole in the road in an instant. The bugs at the bottom of the hole flicked their tails Get up, it seems to smell the food.

The five members of the search team were stunned!A Xiao, the most experienced team leader, was the first to react, and led the team to search for a hiding place. They quickly found a nearby hill piled up with rocks, so they got into the crevices and narrow passages of the rocks, and huddled in the dark Hidden in the corner.

The Zerg has no eyes, but it seems to be very sensitive to sound and heat. The crevices of the rocks are relatively cool, and there is moist soil, so the five members of the search team spread the wet soil on the exposed skin of the body, and then tried to keep quiet and not make any noise. sound.

The Zerg that had just landed on the earth did feel that there was food nearby when it landed. When the smoke and dust dispersed, it crawled out of the huge pit and rummaged around, but it didn’t see any food moving nearby. What I sensed just now was an illusion, but I was unwilling to do so, so I wandered around in this area very stubbornly.

On the way of wandering, it often passed the rock where A Xiao and the others were hiding. The rock hid the figures and temperature of the five members of the search team. The Zerg vaguely felt that something was wrong. Find out what's wrong.

The five people who were huddled in the crevice of the rock stretched out their hands to cover the mouths of the people next to them. They lowered all their voices, remained motionless, and encouraged themselves to remain calm in their hearts.

At this time, the earth is already in broad daylight, the sun is almost hanging in the center, and all the temperatures are biased toward high temperatures. The ground is scorching hot like it has been grilled. Although the Zerg are not afraid of high temperatures, this temperature seems to affect them. The heat sense of the , so they still mainly rely on the sense of hearing.

But it’s a bit noisy around here. More Zerg landed on the earth one by one, smashing deep pits one after another on the ground. The sound was deafening, and it also caused some earthquakes from time to time. The rock where the man was hiding wandered around, turned around, and ran in another direction.

After waiting for a while, A Xiao and the others who were hiding in the crevice of the rocks breathed a sigh of relief when they didn't hear any sound from the Zerg at all. A Xiao cautiously poked his head out of the gap, I looked around.

The surrounding scenery is bleak, and the huge pit made by the Zerg not far away is still there, and the dust is still overflowing.

After confirming the safety, A Xiao waved to several of his team members and called them to come out of the rock gap one by one. After a brief preparation, they continued to walk back towards the base in silence, but still Not far away, the bad thing happened again.

The Zerg that thought it had left, actually left and returned at this moment!

It didn't know where it came from... Or maybe it didn't go far from the beginning, but just squatted in a corner and waited patiently, like waiting for A Xiao's group to come out of their hiding place, so this At that time, as soon as A Xiao and the others came out, this terrifying insect appeared, and it triumphantly shook its wings, and flew in front of A Xiao and the others.

For hunters, catching prey still requires some patience.Obviously, this bug was an excellent hunter, and its patience made it a success. Just when it thought that it could enjoy the delicious food in front of it, the Zerg suddenly sensed a slight fluctuation in the air.

The kind of fluctuation that occurs when the wormhole opens.

Regarding wormholes, whether they are natural or artificial, there are some signs of their appearance and disappearance, and the specially evolved senses of the Zerg can clearly sense the subtle fluctuations caused by wormholes. This is the human monitoring system. Something that can never be done.

The Zerg who caught A Xiao and the others keenly sensed that a wormhole exit was about to open right next to them, and it was suddenly a little strange. Did a companion come over?

Since there are companions coming over, the food in hand cannot be enjoyed by itself.

The Zerg thought about it, and glanced at the shivering humans in front of them very regrettably, and then thought that if they were going to eat later, they would choose the one that looked the best.

Before the Zerg could decide which one to choose, the wormhole next to it opened quickly, and a black shadow came out of it. The Zerg turned its head and sensed it. Get up...why are you so petite?

Its doubts are still spinning in its head.

Scar has already rushed towards it.

The attack intention was too obvious, the Zerg reacted quickly, and tried to slap Scar away with one claw, but Scar had already identified the weak point of its joints, and those mutated claws easily tore apart the limbs of the Zerg, and then straight He rushed to his face, and the black blood splattered again!

Originally Scar was already stained black by the black blood of the Zerg, but this time it was even darker.

Ska, who fought the Zerg a few tricks, quickly mastered the weakness of this creature. The scale armor on the Zerg is extremely resistant. It is estimated that ordinary human guns can't do anything about it, but Ska's claws can do it. To easily break the defense.

It's just that no matter how mutated Scar is, his body size can't become as large as that of Zerg, and the area of ​​damage caused is not that large, so if he wants to kill him with one blow, Scar must find the weak point on Zerg's body, and this weakness, Scar has figured it out.

Not only has he figured it out, he even knows exactly which piece of meat on the worm is tastier.

This kind of creature has a particularly strong vitality. If it cannot be completely killed, after a few hours, when it recovers, it will stand up vigorously again.

Ska, who had just passed through the wormhole, felt a little hungry again. He climbed up to the corpse of the Zerg that he had just killed, and dug it open with his claws. The soft, delicious flesh of the Zerg was cut off whole.

In the eyes of A Xiao and the others, they only saw a black unknown humanoid creature. After killing the terrifying big bug with a simple move, it planed the bug away, wagging its tail excitedly, and brutally cut meat.

What's even more horrifying is that after the strange unknown creature cut off a large piece of flesh from the worm, he opened his mouth and quickly ate the piece of meat with a frightening speed. !

Such an easy and quick elimination of such a terrible species in the eyes of human beings, A Xiao and his group were all stunned by the side, and stood there in a daze, until Ska over there ate all the meat in his hand, and then turned to look at it. As far as A Xiao and his party were concerned, A Xiao and the others realized it later, and they all trembled at the same time.

At this time, Scar's image in the eyes of A Xiao and others is not much better than that of the Zerg.

Ska is in a semi-mutated state. Most of his body is humanoid, but his limbs are no doubt the same as those of the Zerg. On the tail spine, there is a tail that is the same as the Zerg but much smaller in size. He also has wings similar to the Zerg on his back.

The whole body was also dyed as black as ink by the black blood of the Zerg. It was so dark that it looked weird and frightening. A Xiao and his group didn't see what kind of monster it was at all. The messy guns in his hands, knowing that they are useless, still place their hopes on them.

However, Scar had no intention of attacking A Xiao's group. After eating the flesh and blood of the Zerg, he finally felt that he was no longer hungry, so he looked around, searching for traces of his Lyle.

Ska has part of the senses that belong to the Zerg. After all, if he can transform into a Zerg, it is not a problem to have its sensory system, and he has marked Lyle. He firmly remembers Lyle's taste and Lyle's voice.

But there didn't seem to be any nearby. In the slight wind blowing over, Scar didn't catch any traces of Lyle. He jumped off the corpse of the Zerg and swept his eyes over the humans in front of him.

After scanning around, Scar seemed to find that among these humans, one of them had a faint scent that belonged to Lyle. Although it was very faint, Scar could smell it, and he rushed over quickly, scaring Ah Several team members behind Xiao were about to shoot, but A Xiao suddenly raised his arm and stopped the team members behind him.

"Don't move!" Xiao Xiao said softly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Scar had already rushed in front of A Xiao. Scar's speed was too fast, like a flash of lightning. In a blink of an eye, he appeared from one place to another like teleportation , appeared in front of A Xiao.

Scar stretched out his claws and pressed A Xiao's shoulders. The doll was too tall. A Xiao was more than 1.8 meters tall, but even so, Scar was still much taller than him, and it seemed that because of his body Part of the mutation made him a little taller.

Despite this size, Ska is still very "petite" in front of the Zerg.

Scar held down A Xiao, put his nose close to sniff, and sure enough, he smelled Lyle's scent on A Xiao, which made the puppet seem excited, and he realized that A Xiao in front of him might have had a relationship with Lyle. Contact, he wanted A Xiao to take him to find Lyle, but he opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to organize the words.

He can obviously speak, and many kinds of data and programs have been implanted in his mind. These things can tell him what to do, how to say it, and how to move forward.

But at this moment, Scar realized that he would never be able to speak naturally and normally like a human being.

In front of A Xiao's group, Ska held back for a long time. When he tried to organize his words and wanted to speak, he also kept a paw on A Xiao's shoulder. A Xiao also froze in place and did not move. The team members behind A Xiao seemed to be under the magic of petrification, and the whole scene was still.

Time seemed to have stopped, A Xiao and the others were full of mixed feelings and mixed feelings, but Scar over there was still motionless, and they didn't dare to move. After waiting for a long time, Scar finally came out A name came out of his mouth.

He said, "Lyle."

This sentence was not loud, but A Xiao was very close and could hear it clearly. The monster in front of him was indeed calling a name, and this name made A Xiao feel very familiar.

Probably because he was frightened enough in a short period of time, A Xiao had a short-circuited brain for a while, and he couldn't remember who Lyle was. It rested on A Xiao's other shoulder, and almost shook A Xiao's shoulder vigorously. He said again: "Lyle."

"Lyle, Lyle... that's right! He's Lyle's puppet!" A Xiao finally realized after a while. Several of the team members disarmed.

Seeing that the boss had opened his mouth, a group of people put down their guns one after another, gathered around, and surrounded Ska. Maybe it was because A Xiao said it was the golem. The vigilance and panic just now disappeared, and the golem It will never harm humans, unless it is under the command of the master. Based on this, these people suddenly feel a lot more relaxed in their inner depression, and they can't help but start to look up and down and observe Scar.

After some observation, several team members couldn't believe Scar's half-human, half-worm appearance. They asked their captain, A Xiao, and asked, "Boss, is this really a puppet? I looked at it. Why is it a little creepy..."

Scar turned his blood-red eyes to the team member who questioned him, and flicked his tail behind him on the ground.
