After the unlucky straight man accidentally turned into a worm mother

If Su Lin could understand the complicated Zerg characters on the weird hexagonal metal door, he would find that the meaning of those characters was the same as the warning words that kept popping up on the floating screen at this time.

Not to be approached.

Extremely dangerous.

But what I have to say is that the Zerg really rely too much on instinct, so that their writing is too general and vague compared to human writing, and because of this, these reminders don't really show the actual danger here.

In fact, it's not just the eggs behind metal doors that are really dangerous.

And this door... and the "beings" themselves around this door.

The protomorph egg depository itself is a very rare ancient relic obtained from the King's Tomb.

The center of the large meteorite captured by the patrol team of the security committee at the edge of the cemetery is an extremely cold ice cave that has been frozen for tens of thousands of years. Over a long period of time, it has become an extremely hard ice shell, and only those irregular concave-convex lines clearly reveal their true identities.

Worm eggs.

And it is still extremely ancient, the real primitive proteus egg.

Although the origin of the race is unknown, according to the research of the security committee's internal experts, the grade of each egg in this primitive proteus egg storage site is very high.

Considering that the meteorite drifted out from the center of the cemetery that is now forbidden by the Zerg, in the most daring assumptions of experts, these bug eggs may even be the unhatched offspring left by the original mother.

Although these eggs have long lost their activity, such high-level eggs are still a rare and precious and effective source of energy for the current Zerg.

They are the best, most perfect supplements.

If there were no accidents, this batch of protomorph eggs would be delivered to the natural disaster community as a bargaining chip after the Security Committee successfully negotiated with the pale natural disaster.

However, Medisus' decision to abruptly interrupt the negotiation left this extremely dangerous protomorph egg storage site at the bottom of the spaceship's cabin: indeed, all the eggs inside the storage site had died, but since the original The blood leeches that had been planted at the entrance of the emporium since the mother's time still had surging activity.These creatures that are difficult to define whether they are Zerg or plants are the most terrifying defense systems, and they are much more reliable than any artificial protection system.Yes, blood leeches don't have any intelligence at all, but they can completely rely on their keen sensory cilia, relying on even the weakest pheromone to identify the identity of the person approaching this door.

The "key" with built-in worm mother cells can make them docile and friendly, so that they will not directly attack the zerg that is close to here.

However, if someone who is unlucky and does not carry the key with him, but gets close to them—the blood leeches will show the most fierce and cruel side, and they will directly spew out from the lair, densely covering the opponent On the body, even if the opponent has the hardest carapace among the Zerg, or even hides in the metal armor, the blood leech can completely devour the intruder very easily.

They don't leave even the thinnest cilium. Blood leeches are such creatures. They will turn all the flesh and blood of the opponent into their own nutrients, and then, relying on those nutrients, they will continue to lie dormant in the nest for the rest of their lives. Live the next poor and long life...

Of course, at this moment, Su Lin, who was facing the biggest crisis in his life, knew nothing about the danger of those little things inside the hive behind him.

He leaned his back against the metal gate, trying in vain to step back a little, and a little more.

In the darkness, dense yellow spots of different sizes gradually lit up.

That thing is approaching Surin.

Su Lin felt that he might be going crazy from fright.

"Su...Lin...hiss...Su..."

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to hear those huge unknown objects covered with patterns and eyeballs, hissing and laughing in the depths of the darkness, making that weird and strange call.

In the extreme panic, Su Lin didn't know what he had done. He seemed to be stung by something on the wall.

Or maybe his blood-stained hand, which was injured because of his escape, just happened to press on the biometric information detection port at the door.

In the next second, amidst Su Lin's exclamation, the hexagonal metal door slowly slid open behind him silently.

Just like that, Su Lin was caught off guard and fell directly into the protomorph egg field that should have been heavily guarded and no outsiders were allowed to enter.

……

The metal door closed again behind Surin.

The air is very humid.

It was dimly lit, very dim.

The temperature is low.

For a second, Su Lin almost suspected that he fell directly into some underground cave that was constantly seeping water.

He fell to the ground, and half of his body was instantly drenched by the cold, sticky, mud-like thing on the ground.

A wet fishy smell lingered in his nose, as if a soft worm that could directly transform into a substance crawled directly into a person's nasal cavity.

Su Lin almost vomited on the spot.

But thanks to the training he received in the orphanage back then, this unlucky young human climbed up from the wet and sticky ground at an astonishing speed, and after seeing clearly where he was now, he even endured I didn't vomit directly after staying.

He was in a wide spherical room, but unlike other cabins in the Zerg spaceship, the place where Surin was now was unprecedentedly similar to the inside of a bug egg.

The walls and ceiling are all covered with translucent strange substances, and countless entangled and twisted meridians and gullies can be seen attached to the walls, while under Su Lin's feet, there is thick, dark green mucus.

Of course, all of these are disgusting at best, at least they are not unacceptable compared to what Surin saw in the spaceship corridor before.

What really made Su Lin shudder were the eggs standing evenly on the mucus.

It's not that Su Lin has never seen Zerg eggs before this, well, at least he saw a lot in textbooks.

But there had never been any insect eggs as terrifying and huge as those around him.

——Every egg here is as tall as a person, and the surface is covered with a thick, translucent ice shell.

Even in the dim light, Su Lin could still vaguely see the strange shadows inside the ice shell. ;

Their skin was pale, and their bodies were crouched together, just like those snow-capped mummies he had seen in human museums.

However, the mummies in the human world do not have carapaces, everted mouthparts, and long tail spines retracted in front of the chest.

Is this the protomorphic egg?

Su Lin thought in panic.

Shouldn't the eggs be unhatched Zerg?But the things in these eggs, even if they looked like mummy, still looked taller and more terrifying than many adult Zerg he had seen.

Inexplicably, Su Lin remembered what that cold-faced professor said privately when he was doing research with Xue Yao in the human world.

Xue Yao said that the Zerg Empire, which seems to be in full swing, is actually experiencing an unprecedented crisis.

【"They are deteriorating."】

The young professor looked at the Zerg corpses in the ice hall expressionlessly, and said coldly.

["Although we can't explore the real reason, the self-deterioration of the Zerg is beyond doubt... Yes, I know what you are going to say, those generals in the Zerg, heh, those high-level Zerg are indeed constantly evolving, but their The degree of mental instability has also become more and more serious.”]

【"As for ordinary Zerg...the only improvement they can achieve is the number of self-proliferation. The degree of wisdom is declining, but the degree of distortion is getting more and more serious."】

【"... Zerg, what an elegant, powerful and proud race they used to be. Now they have become such weak and disgusting things."】

Su Lin was beside Xue Yao at that time. After hearing the young professor's whisper, he looked at Xue Yao and then at the unsightly Zerg corpse in the coffin.

He really didn't understand Xue Yao's definition of "weak" at the time.

Until now, many years later...

Su Lin panted with difficulty, walking through countless ancient insect eggs, as if realizing something in his heart.

If it is said that the eggs of the Zerg before were hatched from similar things around him now, maybe the Zerg that humans are dealing with now are really weak.

Su Lin thought bitterly in his heart.

Thank goodness, these things that look scary at first glance have now turned into mummies. In the normal sense, the initial stage of the Zerg eggs is at most the size of a football, not the giant eggs that are one or two meters high around me.He really felt sincerely grateful for mankind.

【Mother……】

【Our... mother...】

Su Lin shivered, and suddenly turned to look to the side.

A mummy is still a mummy.

There was no action.

Su Lin took a deep breath, that's great, it's an auditory hallucination...

However, he hadn't had time to be happy for too long, the moment he thought this way, he heard a huge roar coming from behind.

The ground is shaking.

Su Lin turned his head in horror, and at a glance, he saw a huge bulge visible to the naked eye on the seemingly solid metal door behind him.

Immediately afterwards, there were loud noises and violent vibrations that could not be concealed by such a heavy door, as if the Fifth World War was being fought on the other side of the door.Su Lin's expression froze suddenly.

He pictured those horrible tentacles ripping through the cabin bulkhead with ease.

Well, don't worry about man now, worry about himself.

Su Lin glanced at Guangnao in vain, trying to get the other party to find a way out for him.However, the floating screen in his palm had already turned blood red due to the danger warnings that kept popping up, completely useless.

Su Lin turned off the miniature optical brain with a blank expression, and then he carefully hung the metal accessories left by his senior around his neck and put them inside his clothes.

Calm down, it's not a big problem.

he said to himself.

Back then, I was stuck in the toilet and was almost grabbed and stomped on a bird. Now the situation is not as terrible as it was then!

So just don't panic.

……

"Boom—"

The metal door of the prototype egg storage site was directly blasted open a huge hole.

Shimmer fell into the cave from outside the door, and a bloated and huge creature spit out several mouthfuls of dark red mucus, and then wriggled bit by bit, squeezed into the cold and damp room.

The densely packed corpses of blood leeches made strange creaking and creaking sounds under its crushing.

The eyeballs all over the surface of King Worm Ariel's body were constantly watching around when he was moving.

"Su... Su Lin..."

He happily called his favorite little bug.

But never got any response.

Ariel hesitated a little when he passed the strange eggs that had frightened Surin before, but in the end, he suppressed his greed and turned his attention back to finding people.

It was quiet all around.

The long-dead eggs were motionless, and only when Ariel's huge body rubbed against their egg sacs, the withered corpses shook slightly.

Ariel looked around, and suddenly, he grinned.

【found it. 】

A tentacle suddenly protruded and rushed straight into the mud at the edge of the resettlement site.

"Help—cough cough—"

The thin and inferior Zerg was grabbed by the neck by the tentacles, and just like that, was dragged straight out of the useless camouflage by the tentacles.
