After the unlucky straight man accidentally turned into a worm mother

The sealed box is not big.

There are a lot of impact-resistant load-bearing materials and cushioning gel embedded in it. Under the protection of the senior, Su Lin went into the box and looked inside. He found that the shape of the table placed there was ordinary, and it suddenly looked useless. strange metal machines.

It can be seen that when the machine was first manufactured, the smooth metal surface should be very bright and smooth, but now it is covered with a white film like frost.In the center of the machine is a very old-looking timer and instrument panel, and the slender hands are clicking, clicking and moving forward regularly.Su Lin glanced at its timekeeping...a long series of numbers, converted to show that this machine has been running for nearly 10 years.

Su Lin subconsciously felt that this might be an old and malfunctioning instrument. After all, he didn't think such a crumbling and dilapidated instrument could really run for such a long time. After all, the machine in his vision at this moment had already It was trembling because of running, as if it would fall apart at any time.

And the vibration it generated during this process caused friction between the cushioning material filled around it and the interior of the alloy wall, which made people feel as if something in the box was constantly scratching and struggling.

However, when Su Lin observed the machine carefully, he suddenly shivered involuntarily.

It felt like a snake that had just woken up from the ice and snow slowly crawled down his back, and his body had already had goosebumps before his reason came into play.

"Now we can all see it, right?"

Su Lin spoke, and said to the others in a hoarse voice.

He described what he saw, and then confirmed that all the Zerg present, including the few larvae, had seen the same weird machine as he had seen.Then the coldness on Su Lin's body became more and more intense.

Su Lin found that this machine was very familiar to him.

……

【"Oh, this instrument? It is powered by atomic energy. If it operates under ideal conditions, its materials can support its operation for 10 years..."】

Su Lindi seemed to hear the words that Xue Yao said to him in his private office on a scorching hot afternoon many, many years ago.

"Tyrant" Xue Yao's personality is indifferent and alienated, and he always has a robot-like coldness when he speaks. However, on that day, his tone of voice had an unexplainable sense of illusion and uncertainty.

Su Lin swore that he was extra courteous to Xue Yao because of the scholarship. When he found that Xue Yao's private office was as messy as a garbage dump, he couldn't help but rolled up his sleeves and sorted out the mountains of experimental materials for him. and data.

It was at that time that Su Lin unintentionally took out a weird instrument of no use from Xue Yao's pile of materials.

【"Professor Xue? Where do you put this... What is it for?"】

Su Lin couldn't help asking a question, partly because of the need for tidying up and partly out of curiosity.

But Xue Yao made fun of him for the first time.

【"It's a time machine."】

The cruel "tyrant" said with a blank face.

Looking at the stunned and bewildered poor student, Xue Yao continued to fool around without changing his face.

【"At present, it is possible to use this machine to break through the time limit to deliver some very small inorganic objects, but from now on, the objects delivered by this machine are limited to inorganic objects."】

Because Xue Yao spoke too seriously, Su Lin still remembered racking his brains before he had to bite the bullet and ask back.

【"Ah, even if you can only send small inorganic objects, that would be great. Could it be possible to send messages across time and space? Ah, there seems to be a movie about this recently... about love across time and space..."】

【"No, the time machine can only deliver unilaterally."】

Xue Yao raised his hand, and a professional light curtain suddenly appeared in the narrow and messy office. With the slight movement of Xue Yao's fingertips, a phantom of a river made of holographic images appeared in front of Su Lin.

The tall and strong professor with a cold expression stood beside him like a mentor, held Su Lin's hand, and threw a small stone that didn't exist into the gurgling river.

【"Look, when we use the time machine to throw objects in reverse time, it's like this, you can choose when to throw it out, or choose the size of the stone you throw according to your own strength. However, when your position is fixed , you will no longer be able to take the initiative to recover this stone.”]

【"ah?"】

【"You can only see it again after time itself, the cruel river that engulfs your stone, after all the years it deserves..."】

Su Lin was dizzy when he heard it, and he didn't pay attention to the principles that Xue Yao explained carefully—because he really didn't know whether it was Xue Yao's joke or not.If Xue Yao said it was a joke, but he took it seriously, would the professor feel that he was a little too stupid?But if it's really not a joke...

No, Su Lin really couldn't take this stuff seriously.After all, when Xue Yao talked about his mental journey of researching the time machine later, no matter how he heard it, he felt it was extremely nonsense.

【"...Yeah, everyone is curious why I am so obsessed with the Zerg. Let me tell you the reason, because in my youth, I have dreamed countless times. I dreamed that I was alone, and the whole There are countless ignorant, fierce, and irresistible Zerg races in the universe. I also dreamed that I have been working hard to study everything about time travel, even if I know very well that even if I succeed, it will be futile.”]

When talking about the dream, Xue Yao leaned against Xia Ri's window and lit a cigarette for himself.

In the backlight, the only thing Su Lin could see clearly was the smoke ring rising up under the bright light, and Xue Yao's expression at that time was completely unclear.

【"I, this one in my hand, is it really a time machine? Haha, haha, it looks like I have to find a safer place to install..."】

【"Don't worry, just find a place to plug it in. The success rate of that thing is very low, it's just a test machine. Moreover, the military department has ordered me to stop all research in this area."】

Xue Yao said to the young student who was at a loss, immature and clumsy in a calm tone.

Because of a dream, the research started as if possessed by a dream was astonishingly expensive. When the war between the Zerg and humans became less intense and gradually approached a stalemate stage of mutual confrontation, it didn't take long for the military to completely stop all experiments by Xue Yao. .

……

"Sulin?"

The worrying call from Luo Xi brought Su Lin's sanity back to reality from that fuzzy and scorching afternoon.

"Are you ok?"

The Zerg man looked at Su Lin worriedly, but it was only then that Su Lin realized that his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

Even if he wanted to be perfunctory, he couldn't say that he was fine.

Su Lin was breathing heavily. He raised his hand and slowly reached for the machine in the sealed box.

"Be careful--"

Luo Xi wanted to stop him, but Su Lin shook his head solemnly and stopped his movements.

"No, it doesn't have any mechanism that can kill people." Su Lin murmured, and then raised his hand to brush over an inconspicuous position at the back of the machine.

The familiar unevenness from the fingertips made Su Lin's heartbeat seem to stop.

Su Lin knew what was written on the inconspicuous indentations without checking with his eyes.

That was Xue Yao's initials.

The days when he worked hard with the "Tyrant" to get a scholarship made Su Lin very aware of the habits of that human man. On the prototypes he made by himself, Xue Yao would always put his signature on this position.

Moreover, what made Su Lin feel tighter was that after he checked the machine, he realized that it was not the one he had seen in Xue Yao's laboratory.

Judging from the more complete metal parts and structure, the one in his hand is not the semi-finished product that Xue Yao made at all.

This is not a test machine.

This is the finished product, and it doesn't have a delivery port. The delivery port that Xue Yao mentioned in his memory is now displayed as "receiving".

……

"This dial records its elapsed running time. I don't know if the count is correct... And here, it should be the receiving container? I don't know..."

Su Lin tentatively turned on the receiver of the instrument.

His heart was beating so hard that it almost jumped out of his chest, and in the next second, a thin piece of paper slowly fell out of this instrument that seemed to be falling apart at any time.

Those papers also looked old, so brittle that they could be turned into powder in a second.

But even so, Su Lin could still clearly see some brown stains on the paper—inexplicably, he knew that it was nothing but someone's blood.

The handwriting on the paper was also as neat as Su Lin remembered, but when it came to the last few sheets, the handwriting from Xue Yao became scribbled.It's as if the person who writes is exhausted and has no physical strength to maintain the perfection of handwriting.

【Su Lin, I'm sorry. 】

[If you can receive my message, it proves that my plan should have been successful. 】

【As I imagined before, "history" cannot be changed, and everything that has happened must have happened.When we try to change the past, this eternal river will also make its own response.We cannot tamper with what has happened, but we can reopen a new time and space, and you have proved this with your bravery and fearlessness.Judging from the port I successfully started here, you have successfully arrived at the correct time point...]

What followed was a large block of writing that was illegible because of the blood.

There are also several sheets of paper that have been smashed and decayed due to the long time, and there is no way to check them.

Su Lin held his breath, and cautiously continued to look at the last "letter" that was barely complete.

【...This should be the last time I send you a message.Su Lin, I must apologize to you again.Yes, I did deceive you. After you performed such a cruel mission, all of us in this time and space did not get the salvation you wanted.The swarm has occupied the last bastion of the earth army, and the ground has completely fallen.I and the last human survivors have taken refuge underground, but according to my gap, they should find us soon. 】

[The fate of this universe has drawn an end.When the last non-insect race, we, are completely extinct, it is conceivable that the swarm will completely plunder the resources in the entire universe, and then they will eventually perish.It's cruel, but I don't regret making that choice. When I look at the machine beside me, I know that at least on a certain branch of this river, there are still sparks of civilization left.I have gathered all the civilizations and technologies of the races that have been swallowed up and cast them on you. I hope you can live more easily in that time and space without Zerg. 】

……

In the depths of the deep underground fortress of humanity.

Xue Yao desperately covered the blood oozing out of his mouth, and his trembling fingertips couldn't hold the pen in his hand because of the blood.

As the Zerg dug the ground, even though he was underground, he could still clearly hear the not-too-distant roar.

The existing human leader who had almost lost his human form trembled and rejected the healing instrument handed to him by the same haggard cloth beside him.

"But, Professor Xue, if this continues, you—"

The subordinate looked at the terrible wound on Xue Yao's body, his voice was hoarse and choked.

"Time is running out."

Xue Yao's face showed a touch of gray.He said in a steady tone, at this moment, he looked unexpectedly gentle like never before.

He looked at the crude letter paper in his hand with some regret, and the scribbled handwriting made him uncomfortable like an obsessive-compulsive disorder attack.However, there is no way to re-edit it.

Even the piece of paper in his hand is already the last supplies.

Not to mention, the time left for him is indeed too late.

Xue Yao took a deep breath, raised his hand tremblingly, and handed the letter to the humming time machine beside him.

Then hit the send button.

Looking at the flickering lights of the machine in operation, his lips curled slightly.

... He has no way to save other cosmic civilizations from the Zerg, and he has no way to save humans.

However, even though it was extremely cruel, at least he kept Su Lin alive.

Even if, that stubborn young man is already in another time and space, another universe.

"You should be very angry, that child..."

While whispering softly, Xue Yao swayed and leaned his body against the time machine.

The last trace of his smile froze forever at the corner of his mouth.

"...you will be the beginning of a great civilization, Sulin."

Su Lin muttered the last sentence of the letter.

One couldn't hold back, breathing a little harder, and the paper between them instantly shattered and disappeared.

"What kind of prank is this? Or mind radiation?"

Milian said with an ugly face.

And for a while, Su Lin couldn't digest the information brought by the letters he just saw.

He involuntarily raised his head to look at Luoxi, and his lips moved together. He always felt that he seemed to want to say something, but in the end his mind went blank and he couldn't say anything.

He even hoped that Milian's judgment was true—it was all just an illusion.

Otherwise, the reality revealed by these letters is a bit too scary.

The self in another time and space chose to go back in time through the time machine in order to save the human beings swallowed by the Zerg. Although he didn't know what the cruel mission Xue Yao meant, it was obviously closely related to the Zerg.

I saw many violations of the original mother from the Zerg classics... and those dreams that I have been subconsciously denying and ignoring, now they are like pieces of a puzzle, and they are finally completely destroyed by these letters. Blended together.

"I" became the mother of all Zerg 10 years ago.

In order to save everything he loves, even if they are ugly, terrifying, and ferocious like the primitive proteus, "I" also accepts them, and has bred countless heirs and offspring.

The Zerg, which combines human genes, constantly modifies its own way of existence because of its absolute obedience and flattery to the Zerg mother.In the end, there was this group of Zerg that Su Lin was familiar with.

It has human mimicry, a rights system that is very close to the human system, and a rough Zerg civilization.

It is also because Xue Yao provided the last legacies of countless friendly alien civilizations to "Sulin" 10 years ago at the last moment, so the "self" 10 years ago single-handedly transformed the entire population from the low-level The barbaric "creatures" were brought to the palace of the civilized race in the universe.

There is even an answer to the strange behavior of this group of Zergs who regard themselves as the original mother, because 10 years ago, "Sulin" in another time and space was indeed the supreme existence that gave birth to the Zerg... …

"Too cruel."

Su Lin didn't notice that he was shaking.

He felt terrified and terrified because of his conjecture.

He didn't even dare to think about what exactly happened to "Su Lin" named "Primary Mother".Become the mother of all insects, establish a great civilization, and continue the last fire in another universe...

Yes, it all sounds pretty grand.But is this really what "Sulin" wants to experience?Su Lin felt that if it was him, he would rather die in the battle with the Zerg long ago.

"Su Lin, listen, you are not him."

Luo Xi suddenly raised his hand and took Su Lin into his arms.

"Everything, everything about the original mother ended 10 years ago. Whether it is this time and space or that time and space, this time is already a thing of the past."

"But, I am Su Lin."

Su Lin knew that in this situation, he didn't have the time to immerse himself in the intense concentration brought about by the facts, but he couldn't control his emotions at all.

"I've dreamed... I've been... been dreaming of those things... oh my god..."

The young man's face was as pale as a ghost.

He felt weak all over, and his body felt cold one after another.

【"Well, yes, those things are really cruel-I hope that guy Xue Yao will never have peace in hell."】

A familiar voice sounded again, and Su Lin slowly turned his head from Luoxi's arms, and saw the deformed and swollen "self" again.

In the previous hallucinations, Su Lin always felt that the other party looked sad and peaceful, but now he could see that when this young man who only maintained his human form in his upper body mentioned Xue Yao in that time and space, his eyes kept flickering with some kind of horror madness.

"roll--"

Su Lin murmured, he felt like he was going crazy.

And at this moment, Milian suddenly let out an exclamation.

"Oh my God, what the hell is going on?!"

Su Lin was shocked, and the phantom from the original mother disappeared again, but when he followed Milian's line of sight and looked out of the control room, he almost thought that he had fallen into the radiation of the mind again.

In order to better control the abyss manager, when capturing the fishing ship, the pure white stars also landed on the bottom of the damaged cabin of the dilapidated giant battleship in ancient times.

The battleship has long since decayed, and a huge gap has already been opened at the bottom of the cabin.

But now, what appeared out of the observation window was an incomparably huge, gorgeous, almost brand-new giant battleship.

The Pure White Star and Abyss Prayer are neatly placed inside the cabin just like all the ordinary spaceships around them. The pipeline and track system with a very strong bioengineering style fix all the spaceships in their exact positions.

On the extremely complicated cobweb-like passage, some vague voices can even be seen walking back and forth. Judging from their movements, it can be seen that they are undergoing some kind of special inspection-but their outlines at this time are only a blur The phantom of the ghost, and the instruments used for detection have long since disappeared for many, many years.

however……

Yet the battleship itself is horribly real.

The most frightening thing was that as those phantoms faded rapidly, certain regular blue light waves kept flashing on the inner wall of the battleship.

"Oh, damn it, no way..."

Milian stared at everything in front of him and cursed.

"Is this fucking hallucination?"

At the same time, there was a sound of a screen protruding from the control room panel.

[The transition channel has been detected, and the countdown to the transition has begun. Please fix your seats...10...9^8...]

】

In King's Graveyard, it's almost common sense not to be able to fly.

Because of the space distortion here, all the parameters used for the transition are completely invalid. If the transition is forcibly activated, no one will know where they will land in the end——

But now, the vibration feeling when the transition channel is opened is so real.

It's as if they really just appeared in a giant ancient battleship that is running normally and are about to be taken to another coordinate by the other party.

"Quick, we gotta get out of here!"

Miriam screamed.

But Su Lin heard himself speak hoarsely.

"No, it's too late."

A burst of dazzling blue light suddenly exploded—it was completely different from any kind of transition.

The ancient battleship led them directly into the leap space.
