Puppeteer [Interstellar]

At this moment, Arnold, who was blocked by the enemy in the cargo ship's warehouse, and his puppet were standing in front of a large metal cuboid box.This box is what Arnold and others saw those guys in white protective suits carry out from the bug nest.

The metal box should be completely sealed, with a combination lock on it, but there is a glass box frame on the box cover, so that Arnold can see the inside of the box through the glass, when Arnold lies on the box and sees through the glass frame When he looked inside, what he saw was beyond words.

He saw a member of his own reconnaissance team. Arnold remembered that this person should be called Robin, a young man in his 30s and [-]s, with brown hair and a mixed race. He was lying in this strange rectangular metal box. It was a terrible thing Yes, there is a... little monster crawling on Robin.

The monster wasn't eating him, or the monster grew up with Robin... how to describe it?That is, the body was fused, and the monster grew on Robin's body. In the middle of his chest and abdomen, the little monster seemed a little uncomfortable, and it opened its mouth wide and howled silently.

And Robin was also in great pain, struggling involuntarily in the metal box, which was filled with a transparent unknown liquid, which submerged half of Robin's body, and his body was trembling in this liquid, he seemed Want to wake up, but can't wake up.

This situation made Arnold feel creepy, he felt sick, his stomach was churning for a while, he just looked at it for a while, and then couldn't help looking away.

The little monster should be the larvae of the Zerg race. Arnold knew that these bugs were not as huge as people saw from birth. They were egg creatures, and the queen laid the eggs and put them in the nest.These insect eggs must be placed in a place with a water source. Many thick tentacles will extend from the chassis of the eggs and lie in the water. Then, there will be special Zergs who will go out to hunt, drag the prey into the nest, and place them on the insect nest. near the egg.

The tentacles of the eggs will wrap around the prey, absorbing the flesh and nutrients of the prey bit by bit, until the prey is sucked into a mummy, after which the eggs will mature, and the larval Zerg will crawl out of it.

In order to grow, the larval Zerg needs a lot of nutrition, and all adult Zerg will go out to hunt and bring back enough food for them, and they are usually living things. This is also the best period for these larvae to eat in their life. Because after maturity, the Zerg can no longer eat these precious and nutritious foods casually, and they have to leave the food for the larvae and the queen for the development of the race.

The larvae are much smaller than the general Zerg, and feel not much bigger than cats and dogs. They will molt and grow into mature bodies after about three molts. Each time they molt, they will double their original size. It takes two months, and about eleven or two humans need to be eaten in the middle.

The Zerg are relatively easy to feed creatures. Every time they eat a meal, they can eat a few days or even half a month without needing to eat again, but that is under extreme conditions. If conditions permit, they will keep eating and become crazy hungry. If it is, it is very common to gnaw half of the planet beyond recognition.

Because the Zerg breeds very fast, the queen can lay eggs every other month, about a dozen at a time.The queen can lay eggs from the day she matures. It can be said that she spends her whole life in laying eggs. However, occasionally, she will choose not to lay eggs. For example, when the food conditions are not sufficient, In other words, when the Zerg wants to migrate on a large scale.

When the food resources on a planet are almost eaten by them, the Zerg will choose to leave this planet to find a new planet with life and food. Every time they arrive at such a planet, they will dig there. The queen hides in the nest to lay eggs, and all the other Zerg go out to search for food, constantly searching for food, and everything that can be eaten will be carried to the queen and the cubs by them.

It only takes about two or three years for such a planet to be gnawed out. During this time, the number of Zerg will double or even more.They rely on this method to make their own race continue to grow and grow.

However, there is only one queen in a swarm, and this queen will only lay the only queen egg when she is about to die. This queen egg is very important to the swarm. It is related to whether they can continue their offspring and whether they can continue to grow the population.

If the queen, or the queen's egg, unfortunately dies under some unexpected conditions, then the remaining swarm will be leaderless, and they will have two choices at this time, one is to disperse and wander aimlessly in the universe until Natural death or death due to accidents; the second is that all the insects gather together and start killing each other. In the end, the strongest and surviving insect will become a special existence-the insect king.

Of course, humans don't know what the so-called "Bug King" is for, because so far, in the battle between humans and Zerg, both sides have their own winners and losers. Can be dried to death, and the human beings also huddled in their own territory, barely fighting against the Zerg, and both sides were at a stalemate.

Humans are always a kind of intelligent but very stupid creatures. They created creatures such as golems to resist the invasion of Zerg, but perhaps, because of such actions, they will also lead to their own demise.

Arnold didn't know why these unidentified people transported these larvae Zerg and humans out of the nest, and why did humans and Zerg grow together?But Arnold vaguely realized that these people were probably doing a horrible experiment, an experiment related to both humans and Zerg, and the experimental materials were their leftover army on Earth, and these Zerg that appeared on Earth inexplicably.

Moreover, there are larval Zerg here, which means that there are eggs. Could it be that there is a queen?

This is not right, the queen can't appear here, the queen should be in the Zerg's stronghold, the place called "Deep Space Galaxy", that star field is occupied by swarms, and tens of thousands of worms are there Where there is activity, the queen is there.

A Nuo couldn't quite figure it out. He was aware of the crisis. He didn't know whether he should find a way to release the members of the reconnaissance team who were packed in metal boxes. The only fact he could confirm was that the reconnaissance team lost contact. It is because they were kidnapped by these unknown forces to do experiments.

And Arnold didn't know much about this experiment, and he didn't know much about the physical condition of these companions in the metal box. He was worried that if he opened the box casually, the people inside would have an accident that Arnold couldn't handle. The situation, what should I do?

Arnold had no choice but to check the people in the box one by one, and he let his golem guard the door of the warehouse.

Anuo's puppet has experienced many battles. As soon as he brought Anuo into the door, he quickly found the arsenal in the cargo ship, and then he used the space box found in the arsenal to carry a large amount of ammunition. And set various traps at the door of the warehouse.

Yes, Arnold's puppet has built the warehouse area inside the spaceship into its own military fortress!

He set up various traps at various passages and entrances, such as automatic strafing energy machine guns, wire mixing bombs, induction bombs, temporary laser passages... and so on.

With so many traps set up, the enemies outside couldn't rush in for a while, especially after that, the puppet also destroyed some systems of the spaceship. It seems that the destruction of this system caused the Zerg outside It is no longer possible to continue to identify the spaceship and the humans inside as the same kind, so it caused a frantic attack by the swarm.

In order to resist the swarms outside, the people in the spaceship had to temporarily put Arno and his puppet aside. They hurriedly opened the defense cover of the spaceship, and then hurriedly tried to repair the system of the spaceship. where they destroy.

But what I didn't expect was that at this critical moment, Lyle over there rushed in with his Scar, not only came in, but also broke the defensive cover of the spaceship.

This makes an already bad situation even worse.

But Lyle wouldn't understand the state of mind of these people, and neither would Arnold. At this moment, Arnold's all attention was on those metal boxes, and he found Axiao in one of the boxes.

A Xiao's situation is not optimistic. Just as what A Nuo saw, there is also a larval Zerg growing on his chest and abdomen, and this little bug seems to be bigger than the others, and its appearance is more ferocious. Howling incessantly, A Nuo who was standing outside the box only felt creepy looking at it.

You have to figure it out.

Arnold was conflicted, but he didn't know what to do. He glanced at his own puppet waiting at the door, and suddenly had an idea in his heart. He thought he should be able to let the puppet catch someone, for example, if he wanted to do these cruel experiments , There must be someone like a researcher on this spaceship.

This kind of researcher must know the situation of A Xiao and others, and maybe they can take down the damn Zerg from them.

I just don’t know where the researcher is. Arnold thinks that he might search the spaceship. There should be a laboratory inside. These experimental bodies in metal boxes are only temporarily placed here, and they may be transported to other places in the future. place.

Just do it when you think about it, Arnold left from the side of those metal boxes, and began to discuss new actions with his puppet.

Arnold's puppet was given a simple name by him, called Siri. Siri is Arno's most precious thing, his friend, his partner, his lover, and his prop.

When Arnold was still in the puppeteer training base, he was not the best one, because he didn't like puppet at first.

He doesn't like being forced to be tied up with a certain guy. He can only spend his life with this puppet.Arnold didn't like this, which also caused him to be full of resistance from the beginning, which made him suffer a lot, and was even almost driven crazy because of the instability of the spiritual contract.

But once the real bond is formed, all the torment is over.

"Sirie." Arnold called his puppet's name and asked the puppet to look at him. Siri has beautiful red eyes like Scar, but it may not change color like Scar. Siri will always remain in the purest Color, looking at A Nuo very intently.

"You can do it, I know. Help me capture one of the researchers on this spaceship." Arnold began to give orders, "The one who is alive, the one who can clearly answer my question."
