After the unlucky straight man accidentally turned into a worm mother

"Ah... so noisy."

Milian took a step back, away from the group of chirping and crying bugs.

"You, see that's why I think the greatest invention of the modern Zerg is the mass hatchery. I thought it would be nice to be able to not have to raise their own young when I was still in the human world."

Even the leader of the rebel army, who didn't change his face when he was wanted by the empire, looked a little pale at this moment.Thinking that he was seriously injured by such a group of crying guys before, Milian even felt a little complicated.

"..."

Hearing his emotion with a little gloat, Luoxi cast an extremely cold look at him.

"Well, I mean, these pups actually like you. That's special."

You know, in the normal Zerg world, it is absolutely impossible for the larvae to surround a male adult male as boldly as they are now.

After hearing Milian's words, Luo Xi's eyes became colder.

"They are the descendants of Surin."

The tall and extremely powerful male worm said lightly.

Although even he himself was puzzled when he saw such a group of small numbers.

The larvae's attitude towards him was indeed significantly different from before, and this really made Luo Xi somewhat at a loss.

A certain male who has lost his memory and lacks common sense does not realize at this time that for the larvae, his breath has changed.

As the lower-level larvae in the hive, they are naturally more sensitive to the breath between the Zerg than the males.At this time, the little figures sensed the special smell on Roxi's body.

Roxi is no longer their "boss".

Nor is it the kind of courtship male who covets Surin.

He is already a partner identified by "mother".

The operation of the worm nest followed the most basic order for hundreds of millions of years, even the small numbers who were completely different from the normal zerg in every aspect because of the nectar of the worm mother could hardly escape this law.

So, now that the worm cubs saw Luoxi, they immediately surrounded him uncontrollably.

They need to let Luoxi lead them to find the "mother" they have always been.

Incomparably straightforward and enthusiastic emotions gushed out, and Luoxi's tentacles shook.

"...You said before that you smelled Surin?"

He said.

Then he met No. [-]'s huge compound eyes.

"Very well, now, immediately take me to the place where the Surin smell last disappeared."

The larvae flicked their tentacles at Roxi, and then they turned around very obediently and began to lead the way for Roxi.

"Wow--"

Milian looked at the scene in front of him in shock.

He suddenly thought of something, and looked in the direction of Luoxi in disbelief: "Wait, so you have actually been recognized by Surin... Now these little guys are also your swarm—"

"To shut up."

Luo Xi said very coldly.

Miriam stared at him as if he had seen a ghost.

Oh, my God, why did he see such a male insect like a biological weapon, after he named the facts, he blushed slightly as if shy.Thinking of the former identity of this Zerg, Milian's sense of horror intensified.

In an extremely delicate mood, they took a long way around the worm's nest. Thankfully, they didn't encounter any more cracks in time and space. They quickly arrived at the location that the larvae had detected.

It has to be said, that is to say, the little figures who still retain the larvae form have always maintained their sensitivity to the aura of the insect mother, so it is possible to sniff the aura left by Su Lin in such an environment. Considering the current situation In special cases, those smells are not evenly preserved, and they are even inadvertently left behind tens of thousands of years ago.

Anyway, Milian stood in such a corridor that was no different from the one he passed through before, and he tried his best to perceive but failed to detect any clues, including Su Lin's pheromone.

"... Did these little guys really find the wrong place? Or did he fall into another time and space here?"

Milian murmured.

"..."

Roxi didn't answer.

Milian turned around and found Roxi staring straight at the corridor wall.After a while, Luo Xi suddenly raised his hand and pressed it directly on the cold wall.

"Crack-"

The hard rock quickly shattered under the palms of the tall Zerg.

After tens of thousands of years passed, the spherical room that was once hidden on the side of the passage appeared in front of the two of them.

Milian watched the other little figures rush up and easily remove the stones piled up at the door of the room, and then realized that there should have been a very small hatching room here.

Of course, the hatching chamber had collapsed long ago, and the falling stones were covered in mucus for a long time, and finally almost merged with the wall of the corridor.

Under normal circumstances, it is almost impossible for modern Zerg to find such places.

"how did you do it--"

Milian couldn't help asking.

He watched Luoxi bend down and squeeze into the hemispherical room with some difficulty, and finally couldn't help asking.

"……tacit agreement."

Luo Xi said nonchalantly.

Milian: "..."

When this room was not collapsed, it should be some kind of very primitive hatching room for storing insect eggs.

When he walked in, they quickly found a large number of broken egg shells on the ground, as well as several Zerg corpses.

And the momentary relief when he entered the room just now disappeared suddenly after Luo Xi accurately found something in the corner of the room.

Luo Xi bent down and carefully placed the things he picked up in his palms.

After such a long time, those unknown ores are always shining, and the outline of the pendant still remains on the outline.

"Wait a minute, this is... this is the pendant that Su Lin gave me?!" After seeing clearly what Luoxi found, Miriam uttered a terrified call.

And Roxi's face sank like water.

"I think, yes."

He stroked the small hole on the broken pendant with his thumb, and the feeling of terror that made him almost breathless began to spread again.

"Poor little fellow."

A voice sounded behind Su Lin.

Su Lin didn't need to look to know that the phantom was muttering again.

Although it is actually difficult for him now to distinguish whether it is a real and illusory shadow, or the self in another time and space talking to himself like crazy.

"...Even if you save that little worm, I'm afraid it won't survive. You have to know that in the worm nest, there can only be one worm mother forever, and the body is contaminated with other auras. That larva becomes the mother you left in that world Heir, he will be regarded as a different kind by other Zerg, and then he will be torn to pieces."

Su Lin frowned and didn't want to pay attention to the frustrated guy beside him.

After giving the larva with beautiful wings a bit of insect honey, Surin accidentally fell into another fragment of time and space.

The good news is that he feels that he seems to have fallen back to the normal timeline this time. The abandoned passage is now very quiet and safe, and Surin just wants to take this short period of time to quickly rush to the king's platform in the center of the lair .

Although he didn't know why, Su Lin had an intuition that there might be many questions that could be answered there.

However, Su Lin's expectation of going on the road in peace seems to be doomed to be unfulfilled.Because he just bypassed a bug corpse, he found that he seemed to have come to a new time node.

And it's kind of bad.

Su Lin smelled a stench.

It is different from the faint dusty smell in the rotten insect nest before, and also different from the cold fishy smell that grows healthy under the protection of worker insects. Now the corridor where Su Lin is is full of disgusting fishy smell.It was the smell of Zerg blood.

Zerg corpses were scattered everywhere after being cut, and the ceiling and walls were covered with a lot of crushed minced meat. The deep wounds left by weapons on the inner wall of the nest were not healed at all, and a large amount of mucus continued to leak from those cuts. The high temperature and the punctured poison sac of the Zerg made the already extremely dark cave filled with a faint, fog-like thing.

"vomit……"

Su Lin covered his mouth and nose, and almost didn't spit it out.

The increasingly sensitive perception after transforming into Zerg formed a huge torture for him at this time.Without even thinking about it, Su Lin activated the filter program of the protective clothing on his body. With the nano-machines forming a dense and fully enclosed filter mask on his face, after smelling the cold and clean air again, Su Lin felt that his The brain regained its ability to function.

There is no doubt that a brutal invasion battle took place here.

Su Lin cautiously walked forward among the Zerg corpses.

He wasn't quite sure which time and space he was in, and he didn't know how powerful the individuals who slaughtered these Zerg were, but what was certain was that this unknown intruder had obviously caused enormous damage to the Zerg nest.

Because the more Su Lin walked forward, the more corpses piled up at his feet. In the end, everything in this corridor could be described as a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.The sections of each corpse are still fresh, and the poison sacs have not yet evaporated. Moreover, the number of Zergs who died here makes Su Lin feel a little timid. He can already imagine that these unconscious Zergs How to form a vast tsunami-like insect nest rushing towards the invaders.

Su Lin's face was tense, and after he didn't know how long he had advanced, he stopped.

This is the intersection of several corridors, thus forming a wide area similar to a "hall".

And this place seemed to be the location where the final battle between the invaders and the guardians inside the worm nest would take place.

In the hall, Su Lin saw corpses piled up into mountains, almost filling the hall completely.But among the massive Zerg corpses, one of them immediately attracted Su Lindi's attention.

It was an extremely large Zerg.

Judging from the few remaining carapaces and bones, his appearance is estimated to be very hideous and terrifying. Judging from the corpses of other Zerg races and the posture of this Zerg corpse, he is probably the invader who caused such tragic consequences.

"A bug bomb?"

Su Lin's nerves were tense. Most of the corpses here have no flesh and blood, only thin bones and obviously damaged carapaces are left.As far as he knew, the only thing that could instantly kill so many individuals in a short period of time was a certain type of insect poison bomb developed within the Zerg.

It is a bit like the Zerg version of the Zerg bomb. Highly toxic Zerg can place micro-machines in their poison sacs in advance. Mix them together, and use your own body as a container to directly release high-concentration and high-corrosion insect poison.

Of course, this is completely a suicide attack.

Once that button is activated, the Zerg itself, which is the container of insect poison, will die completely... just like the intruder in the center of Surin's field of vision.

What Su Lin cared about was nothing else, but the posture that the insect corpse maintained at the end of the time. It was so fierce and ferocious, which caused the terrifying existence of the entire area where the insect race was completely wiped out. At the last moment before death, but It can be vaguely seen that his body is slightly arched, as if he is protecting something.

Su Lin's heartbeat became faster for some reason, and he knew it was not safe, but he walked towards the corpse uncontrollably as if possessed by a demon.

Raising his hand, he carefully stroked the skeleton of the worm corpse.

Accompanied by a soft sound, the carapace and skeleton, which had become extremely fragile due to the corrosion of insect poison, instantly disintegrated and turned into fragments scattered in front of the mountain of corpses.

It was only then that Su Lin discovered that there was a slender figure in the embrace of the insect corpse.

"Oh, my God."

Su Lin stared at the combat uniform wrapped around the figure, and murmured.

Although the style is a bit unfamiliar, Su Lin can still recognize at a glance that the opponent is wearing the combat uniform of the Earth Army.

This turned out to be a human being.

Su Lin didn't care about other things, and hurriedly stepped forward to check the other party's status.

Still alive, but the breath is already very weak.

He grabbed the opponent's arm, and then secretly startled because of the thinness of the opponent's arm, this guy was so thin that he looked like a minor.Su Lin hurriedly opened the combat uniform terminal system on the opponent's arm. With the experience of participating in this project with Xue Yao, Su Lin directly bypassed the personal authentication, and activated the emergency treatment program by clicking on the panel.

He heard a slight clicking sound, knowing that the rescue machine reserved inside the human body had been activated, and the originally bad physiological values ​​on the panel gradually began to rise.

Su Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at the other party's slender figure, and after hesitating for a while, he couldn't help but raised his hand and reached for the other party's helmet.

"Kick-"

In the next second, the cold muzzle of the gun directly touched Su Lin's neck.

Surin also heard the unique sound when the energy tank was charging.

He broke out in a cold sweat immediately.

"Hey, wait a minute, I'm human, I don't mean anything!"

he shouted hastily.

"Humanity?"

The other party also looked very surprised.

His voice was very hoarse, and his figure looked even more shaky, but the gun aimed at Sulin was always steady.

"How could there be humans here?"

A red light flashed on the fully enclosed helmet, and Su Lin realized with a headache that the other party was scanning him——

"No, you are not human."

Sure enough, the next moment he heard the other party say coldly.

"Wait, you're not a Zerg either... who the hell are you?"

"This is really complicated to say."

Su Lin raised his hands helplessly and said.

"But I really mean nothing to you."

He said.

"You are the one he placed here to meet me—"

Suddenly, the young man's voice stopped abruptly.

Before Su Lin had time to ask the other party which time and space he came from, he saw the other party slightly turned his head, staring at the huge Zerg corpse that had already been scattered into pieces on the ground.

His figure shook twice again.

Probably because of extreme weakness, this time he fell directly to the ground.

Then he kept that posture, panting violently, and sat there for a long time.

Raising his hand, the young man reached out to the Zerg's skull in a cautious gesture.

However, the corpse after the insect poisoning is too, too fragile.The youth didn't even have time to touch the hideous skull before it collapsed and shattered.

The movement of that human youth froze for an instant.

"You, are you okay?"

Looking at his extremely thin back, Su Lin murmured.

"This guy is really a bastard..."

The young man let out a murmur that didn't answer the question.

Because his voice was too hoarse, at this moment his whisper sounded like a cry.

But when he stood up again, Su Lin realized that it was just his own illusion.

"Tell me, who are you and why are you here?"

The young man's questioning was as calm and cold as before, but it was probably because Su Lin didn't attack when he fell before, so his tone was finally not so defensive.

"You are half-human, half-worm... Xue Yao's alternative plan?"

Su Lin's pupils shrank slightly: "You also know Xue Yao?!"

"I--"

The young man seemed to be about to speak, but a warning came out of his mouth the next second.

"Damn, those bugs are approaching! Run!"

Su Lin was grabbed by the opponent, and then ran straight into the depths of one of the corridors.

In fact, Sulin also sensed the arrival of the swarm without being reminded by the other party. At the first moment, Sulin thought that he could use the breath of the worm mother to confuse their cognition and drive them away, but the next second Sulin I know that I am righteous.

It is completely different from the small numbers who have a clear self-awareness, and it is also different from the individuals who were less in number before and failed to form the will of the swarm. They also feel that terrible spiritual pollution when they make conscious contact.

A filthy desire ran wildly in Su Lin's mind, and Su Lin almost lost control of his body.

【The intruder... killed him...】

【Intruder... Kill...】

【Kill...】

[Kill everything! 】

The will from another worm mother is a primitive and nihilistic savage instinct.

The surging desire to reproduce and the desire to devour other individuals are everything, and there is no room for the existence of any Zerg individual consciousness.

Su Lin had a splitting headache and almost fell to the ground when he ran away.

And the human teammates beside him also seemed to be in a rather bad condition. After the initial adrenaline effect subsided, his pace also slowed down significantly.

But the swarm was attacking them at an alarming speed.

"rustle……"

Su Lin turned his head, and saw those dazed Zerg.

The Zerg in the vanguard looked like oversized cockroaches—a shape that had never been seen in any Zerg world he knew.

But I have to say that this form is indeed a perfect direction of evolution. The cockroach Zerg, which is more than one meter long, moves extremely fast, and its long tentacles are constantly shaking in mid-air, keenly capturing the inside of the nest that does not belong to itself. Race breath.

"boom--"

The human youth raised his gun and fired at the group of Zerg that was about to emerge.The energy beam integrated a ball of dazzling blue light, and the lethality released caused the first group of trackers to instantly turn into countless groups of insect corpses that exploded thick pulp behind them.

However, after they died, more Zerg came back more quickly and in a more aggressive fashion.

"No, no, we can't escape."

Su Lin's legs and feet were weak, and he said to his sudden human comrade-in-arms.

He can perceive many breaths that humans cannot perceive, and now he can be sure that these swarms have gone far beyond attacking to drive away intruders.

The entire hive has been thrown into some kind of manic riot.

Surin's "Mother Worm" consciousness is so fragile that it is vulnerable to such a vast collective will.

Even, whenever Surin came into contact with those Zerg races, he would be constantly backlashed by their terrifying primitive desires.

"boom--"

The human youth beside him fired the last bullet and threw the gun aside, then raised his hand and took out the dagger at his waist.

"What are you afraid of?"

he said grimly.

"It's nothing more than fighting until the last moment."

Su Lin took a deep breath. He didn't think that if he was captured by the swarm, he could still die peacefully in the end...

No, no, he didn't want things to go that far.

Su Lin looked around in panic, and in the midst of despair, his eyes suddenly froze.

"There!"

Su Lin grabbed the temporary friend and rushed towards a certain corner.

A sweet breath gushed out, and after sensing the breath of the "worm mother", a long crack suddenly appeared on the wall of the seemingly empty corridor, and then, Surin and the human warrior They swallowed them together.

...This is the hatching room for the Zerg.

As an important breeding base, the entrance to the Zerg's hatching room is usually guarded by a slime mold that forms a symbiotic relationship with the Zerg.

In most cases, it is absolutely impossible for the fighting inside the nest to affect the hatching room.

"Hiding here is waiting to die. Once those bugs smell us, they will just destroy all the hatching rooms one by one—"

The young man beside him gritted his teeth and said in Su Lin's ear.

Obviously, the same strategy is not unknown to them.

And Su Lin took a deep breath, and responded with a trembling voice in the darkness: "I know."

He could already hear some sounds that ordinary humans couldn't hear, it was the movement that the swarm found by following the smell.

Su Lin raised his hand, and pressed the numerous insect eggs with soft shells on his side.

"We are not here to escape, but to find some... helpers."

He said.
